Today, November 17, the Civil Status Service in partnership with the e-Government Centre and the Ministry of Justice started the second stage of digitizing civil status acts, which constitutes the archive fund of the Civil Status Service. 

Thus, it is planned to digitize other 9 million civil status documents during about 32 months, which, on the one hand will facilitate citizens’ access to quality public services and, on the other hand will enable a more efficient and sure data management, stimulating the development of new government electronic services.
