E-government portal in Azerbaijan offers 56 types of services

The Electronic government portal in Azerbaijan offers 56 types of services, Azerbaijan's Deputy Minister of Communications and Information Technologies Elmir Velizadeh said on Tuesday.

According to Velizadeh, the 15 state institutions in Azerbaijan are connected to the portal and the work to connect ministries and departments continues.

The portal will be a key tool for supporting work with citizens and enterprises of state and private sectors.
As the ministry said earlier, the portal is expected to launch in March next year.

The total number of electronic services to be provided by state and government agencies in the country will reach 300.

An Electronic government was created based on a principle of X-Road, which aims to combine existing data bases and systems of state institutions that were created on different platforms.

Launching the portal will reduce the number of requested documents from citizens due to the fact that different authorities will interact with each other electronically.
