The Digital Citizen mobile application will be available for download in October. This was stated by the head of the Sub-Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, Nikodimos Damianou.
According to him, the application will become the main tool in the process of digitalization of public services and official documents. The implementation of the project began on June 19, after the signing of an agreement with Greece, where a similar application is already in operation.
The pilot version of the Cypriot Digital Citizen app will be available for download in October. In this version, the functionality will be limited to three documents:
– identity card, – driving license, – ILO.
That is, these documents will be available in electronic form and, more importantly, will be accepted by government agencies electronically.
Soon after the pilot launch, the app will add a fan card and birth certificate, as well as a passport re-issuance service.
“The addition of new features and services will continue. This indicates the government’s commitment to continually expand the capabilities of the Digital Citizen app,” said Nikodimos Damianou.
