Azerbaijan to launch new e-government portal

Innovative solutions for the development of services for citizens are always on the spotlight of the state. Use of ICT technologies is one of the main tools of the government on the way to improving the services provided to the population.

A new e-government portal (mygov.az) will be launched in Azerbaijan next month, Fariz Jafarov, Director of E-Government Development Center, told journalists.

He said that it would be possible to use the services of ASAN Pay on the mygov.az website. Through the portal, citizens will have access to all the services of various structures and companies to connect to the system. Jafarov also noted that finishing touches are being made to enable the services on the website.

ASAN Pay allows for making payments for more than 541 types of services including, among others, banking, mobile, utilities, leasing, tax, migration and judicial services. As of today, more than 10,000 ASAN Pay payment terminals have been installed in the country.

The presentation of the mygov.az portal and new services to be provided by the ASAN Pay e-system took place on April 24 in the E-Government Development Center.

Along with these innovations, there are plenty of advanced changes to ease life of Azerbaijani citizens and save their time. As an example, Azerbaijan’s Food Safety Agency will start online registration of business entities working in the nutrition sector on May 1. For this purpose, the agency has developed an automated information system for food safety, which currently operates in the test mode. The registration will no longer require visiting the agency’s departments; it is necessary just to log into the agency’s official website to register.

As another example, the new website for state registration of legal entities, which was presented on April 16, makes possible registration of legal entities, registration over record-keeping in tax authorities and opening of a bank account are now carried out as part of one procedure, which takes about 20 minutes to complete. The registration procedure is possible without using an e-signature, as it is sufficient to use the personal identification number (PIN) code.
