By the end of the year, it is estimated that gov.gr will be available in its entirety and in English. The project is in the immediate plans of the Ministry of Digital Government to enable the use of all services of the Single Digital Portal in English.
What are the benefits of this procedure? Initially the most immediate service to more people from the Greek state through gov.gras the services become friendlier to all, while in the field of entrepreneurship will significantly facilitate the access of foreigners to public services without incurring additional costs for the presence and assistance of intermediaries.
It should be noted that citizens can already with a few clicks issue a certificate of authentic signature in English for documents and private contracts and “can send documents and private contracts abroad with their signature easily and securely” as the Minister of Digital wrote Government, Kyriakos Pierrakakis in his twitter post.
This new feature comes mainly to serve those who trade abroad and need to send a certified private document. The new service is added to the services that are already available in English through gov.gr. Indicatively, such services are the anagnorisi.gov.gr platform for the recognition of vaccinations carried out abroad and the upgraded platform for the e-paravolo. In addition, OAED became the first service to take advantage of the ability of a third party to participate in video call appointments in order to enable citizens to request the participation of an interpreter in myOAEDlive.
It is worth noting that from the translation of gov.gr into English Greece’s position in the DESI index will also improve. Providing a country with digital services in more languages is a criterion in the field of e-governance. In this way, after the first step of creating many and easy-to-use digital services, the country goes one step further, closing another issue in the effort to align with other European countries.
