It’s a generic term for an online ID system, not a standard. The system differs per country, but it basically allows you to login and identify yourself with government institutions.
Apparently the EU accepts several of these systems as valid proof of identification, making it easy to submit a verified signature for petitions.
Whats an eID? Never heard of that standard before.

Ah. Such a system is almost nonexistent in the US, unless you count scanning existing documents or presenting a Social Security ID number.
