Abstract
<jats:p>This article examines digital identity as a constitutional component of migrants’ legal status in the context of the digitalization of migration governance and public administration. The aim of the study is to determine the constitutional and legal nature of migrants’ digital identity and to assess its impact on the content, implementation, and protection of fundamental rights and freedoms. The research is based on formal-legal, doctrinal constitutional, systemic-structural, and comparative legal methods. These approaches made it possible to analyze digital identification mechanisms in relation to constitutional principles of equality, proportionality, legal certainty, and privacy protection, as well as to identify risks arising from automated decision-making and digital control. The results demonstrate that digital identity is evolving from a purely technical tool into an autonomous legal construct that directly influences migrants’ constitutional status. The study reveals that digital identification facilitates administrative integration while simultaneously increasing risks of excessive surveillance, formalization of legal status, and reduced transparency in rights-protection mechanisms. The conclusions emphasize the need for a constitutionally oriented regulatory framework for migrants’ digital identity. Such a framework should strengthen human rights guarantees, ensure judicial and parliamentary oversight, and align national regulation with international human rights standards. The findings contribute to the development of constitutional and migration law doctrine under conditions of digital transformation. </jats:p>
