Well it depends on what you mean by eID. Many government systems of course have ways to log in. But I would dispute that these are really ID systems.
For example, to pay road tax for my car, the government send me a reminder letter in the post every year which has an 11 digit number on it. I can then log in to the DVLA website using this number and the car registration plate number (or alternatively I can do it using the serial number on the vehicle's "log book" and the registration number).
When I renewed my son's passport, the log in used (I think) the old passport number and his date of birth and name.
And so on. Each bit of government is only supposed to ask for what they need and no more.
