The Ministry of Digital Governance It has been implementing a major reform for two weeks that aims to further enhance the effectiveness and transparency in the services offered by the state to citizens.

A key tool of this effort is the creation-acquisition of Personal number (PA) through the platform myinfowhich allow the consolidation and reliable management of citizens’ personal data. To date, over 337,000 citizens They have already issued the personal number, demonstrating and highlighting the success and simplicity of the process.

The personal number acts as a digital “key” that every citizen can use for any contact with public services. Through the Myinfo platform, citizens now have access to a concentrated image of the data that the state has for them, such as their names, parents’ names, date of birth, and the main identifiers: VAT, AMKA and ADT. In this way, they can check their details and ensure that the information kept is accurate.

Apply enables citizens to submit immediate correction requests if they find differences or incorrect items. Until now, more than 96,000 cases of differences have been identified in basic identification elements, mainly in names and dates of birth. Most of these differences relate to the AMKA register (45,369 cases), VAT (30,814) and ID (20,114). By confirming the data by the citizens themselves, the system automatically begins procedures for their correction, sending the right prices to the competent bodies.

“In less than two weeks more than 330 thousand citizens have issued their personal number. The number is particularly satisfactory and proves in practice how easy the issuance process is. Therefore, citizens are slowly gaining the only number they will need to identify with public services, but it also enters the public registries, ”Dimitris Papastergiou said in a statement to RES-EIA.

“Citizens see myinfo at a point concentrated the image of the State for them and control their details before they have reached PA. So far, 96,297 cases of disputes between the citizens’ register and some other register, for example in the name, the surname, the date of birth have been presented. By confirming the data in the Myinfo application, the correction process automatically begins. We methodically end with mistakes, inaccuracies, duplicates of registers, which have been suffering from citizens over time. In addition, in this way the state acquires a single, good picture of every citizen and we are able to offer more efficient digital services, ”the Minister adds and points out:

“Our goal is to make the state more effective and PA. It is a key tool in this direction. “

OR interoperability and the automation They ensure that the image of each citizen is correct and single everywhere. This means that the state acquires confidence in its data and public services are becoming more reliable and efficient. Additions, the listing of PA In the new ID cards, already received by about 9,700 citizens, it further enhances their safety, facilitating identification in each transaction.

“The issuance of the personal number was based on the identification of all Greek citizens, which we have achieved with a long -term effort at least 4 years. An effort aimed at working our state better, with a single image of the citizen everywhere and a high degree of evaluation of digital public services. The personal number and myinfo application are digital foundations for a new generation of services, as proof that digital transformation is evolving and perceived in an experiential way from all of us, ”the Secretary General of Information Systems and Digital Governance told RES-EIA, Demosthenes Anagnostopoulos.

Digital transformation is one of the greatest challenges of our time and Greece, with these moves, is taking significant steps towards achieving the goal. The attempt to create a digital state that operates simply, quickly and safely is now more possible through the use of personal number. Interoperability by automatic updating and correction of data is expected to radically change citizens and state relations, making the management of data more reliable and more effective. Now, every citizen can see in a single digital gate all the information that the state maintains in databases, check accuracy and make corrections without bureaucracy.

At a time when digitization emerges as the most effective way to improve public services, Greece, with this initiative, proves that it promotes a more friendly, transparent and efficient public administration with design and modern technologies. Citizens, for their part, gain significantly, as they gain greater control, reliability and speed in accessing their services and rights. This project is not only about digital technology, but also the substantial transformation of the state-politician relationship into a more modern and human form, with the common aim of better serving and developing a more fair and effective society.
