So is there no biometric for verification? Just physical enrollment and then for all subsequent use, you just use a PIN (no biometric)?

No, there is no biometry. To do anything with your electronic id you need your id card with the chip or your phone with a sim that stores your private key, and you need to know your PIN-s. What other kinds of verification do you need?

It is assumed that whoever is using the id card to sign in somewhere or sign something is the owner of the card. Since.. the pin is also required, stealing someone's card doesn't give the thief any benefit.
