BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 17. Active work is underway to implement and develop an identity verification system in Azerbaijan, Deputy Chairman of the Board at the Innovation and Digital Development Agency under the country's Ministry of Transport and Digital Development Shahin Aliyev said during a Q&A session at the presentation of the updated "mygov" e-government platform in Baku today, Trend reports.
"Currently, active work is underway to implement and develop the identity verification system. This platform not only allows for more effective management of these data but also helps assess potential risks related to their protection in the future. We are already seeing positive dynamics in both cooperation with government agencies and private sector representatives.
By the end of this year, we plan to achieve more than 3,000 implementation points, which will expand its use across various sectors. It's important to note that this initiative has the support of all participants, and we are actively moving towards our goals," he said.
He also mentioned that parallel efforts are being made to create a legal and regulatory framework to ensure the full functioning of the system and its integration at all levels.
"We also expect that citizens will actively demand the use of this technology in situations where identity verification is required. Now, when a physical identity document is needed, the other party will be obliged to accept the electronic version," he added.
