Citizens’ access to e-services with Taxis codes “launched” – In which digital portals can we use them

The increase of citizens’ access to electronic services remains exponential for 2022 as well.

According to her data General Secretariat of Information Systems of Public Administrationin the first five months of this year the authentication of citizens in electronic services with Taxisnet codes increased by 142% in relation to the corresponding period of 2021.

Specifically, from January to May 2022, citizens were authenticated on digital service platforms using Taxisnet codes 154,315,749 times, compared to 63,617,253 authentications that took place in the same period of 2021.

This increase is based on the continuous expansion of public bodies that authenticate citizens through Taxisnet.

In particular, already during the first five months of 2022, 82 public information systems became able to provide digital services using Taxisnet codes as credentials.

Thus, the total number of institutions (Ministries, Municipalities, Hospitals, Universities, etc.) that provide access to digital services with Taxisnet codes now amounts to 276.

It is recalled that the use of Taxisnet codes for citizens’ access to e-services is a central strategy of the Ministry of Digital Government. Therefore, it is a constant pursuit to extend the relevant possibility to as many bodies as possible. This greatly facilitates the daily lives of citizens and businesses, upgrading the quality of services provided.

Each addition of a new body is implemented by decision of the Minister of State and Digital Government Kyriakos Pierrakakis and with the approval provided by the Secretary General of Information Systems of Public Administration Demosthenes Anagnostopoulos.

In this way, citizens and businesses are freed from the need for physical presence in the processes of the institutions, reducing time-consuming travel, waiting and unnecessary hassle for receiving services (eg issuance of certificates and attestations, submission of applications or statements, etc.).
