The purpose of the project is to ensure the transition to digitization in the country and at the same time to minimize physical contact with government agencies in a pandemic. In addition to reducing the number of contacts, it also reduced the time of consideration of appeals. Applications previously considered for 15 days are now considered for 7 days.
