Description

To develop identification services in Georgia, the Public Service Development Agency in the framework of Open Government Georgia’s National Action plan of 2014-2015 commits itself to focus on two major components in the area:
1. Online Authentication System development by means of electronic ID card and relevant authentication mechanisms integrated in it.
2. Digital Signature and Stamp (e-Seal), aiming at development of electronic document-flow systems in Georgia through creation and overhauling of the mechanisms for digital signature and digital stamp (digital signature on behalf of an organization).
Development of identification services will simplify the internal procedures for organizations through reducing paper-based work. It will also improve service delivery for citizens, enabling them to sign relevant documents without leaving their homes.
Digital stamp will support organizations to easily perform signature of relevant documents (e.g. pre-agreed contracts) and, on the other hand, will create additional incentives for the development of personal digital signatures, as nowadays the majority of contracts requiring personal signature indicate organization as a second party to the contract (employment contracts, bank service contracts, etc.). It is noteworthy that demand for these types of digital services comes from its potential users (banks, Notary Chamber and etc.).
Hence, the main objective of the initiative is to contribute to the development of e-services, gradually replace paper documents with electronic ones in formal relations and thus, increase the effectiveness and transparency of official processes.
The implementation of the project will lead to improved public services by enabling citizens to receive relevant official documents (e.g. birth certificates, diplomas, etc.) in a digital format, thus, resulting in major paper and printing cost savings and expedited citizen services.
