Hi @jey,

There were a number of threads about this when Let’s Encrypt first started and the historic answer is that Let’s Encrypt is not interested in issuing client certificates, only server certificates.

In this case, I don’t understand why the issuers of the identity cards themselves don’t also issue digital certificates. It seems like it would be relatively straightforward for them.
