A few graphs giving an overview of the status of the electronic identity cards which are distributed to all citizens in Belgium

Total number of eID cards currently distributed to Belgian citizens

Each line in this graph corresponds to the number of eID cards that have already been produced, activated, or revoked; or that are still kept on hold (i.e., that have not yet been activated). The graph also shows how many eID cards have been distributed to citizens and how many of these cards have been revoked so far. All relevant CRLs have been taken into account to produce this graph.

Overview per CRL of the transitions of an eID card's state (produced, activated, revoked)

Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2005 Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2004 Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2003
Number of eID cards that are currently known based on the individual CRLs
Each line in each graph corresponds to the number of eID cards that have already been produced, activated, or revoked; or that are still kept on hold (i.e., that have not yet been activated). The graph also shows how many eID cards have been distributed to citizens

Total number of municipalities (out of 589) which issue eID cards

This graph is self-explanatory...

Total size of all Citizen certificate revocation lists in the field

The topmost line in this graph shows how many kilobyte all Belgian eID card CRLs together consist of. The other lines show the sizes of the individual CRLs.

Number of eID cards activated per day

Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2005 Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2004 Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2003
Number of eID cards that are activated per day, based on the individual CRLs

Each dot in these graphs corresponds to the number of eID cards that have been activated on that specific day.
Activated means that the eID card's certificates are removed from the crl of that day, i.e., their status toggles from `hold' to `not revoked'.
The calendar days start at day 1 on January 1, 2003, and are increased every subsequent day.
Example: a dot at (date,250) means that 250 eID cards have been activated on that particular date

Number of days before a citizen activates his/her eID card

Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2005 Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2004 Information derived from the CRL which covers the eID cards that have mostly been produced in 2003
Logarithmic vertical scale
Logarithmic vertical and horizontal scales

Each dot in these graphs corresponds to the number of eID cards that have been activated after that particular number of days after the generation of an eID card's certificates.
Example: a bar on day 80 of height 10 reflects that 10 eID cards have been activated 80 days after the day that the certification authority issued the corresponding eID card certificates.
Note the logarithmic scale of the y-axis in the top most graphs and of both axes: each set of ticks on a logarithmic axis corresponds to a different order of magnitude. Example: between 1 and 10, each tick represents a single unit, between 10 and 100, each tick represents 10 units, between 100 and 1000, each tick represents 100 units, etc.
