Finishing most paperwork and transactions will be easier through a new project launched yesterday by the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI). It’s the Electronic Signature project. The electronic signature system is one of the basic infrastructure of the e-government. “This system allows the public and private sector to expand the services they provide for the public through their websites on internet and electronic services. PACI is responsible for verifying the identity of individuals through the Civil ID card, which is stuck to them in all their paperwork.

As the different public and private institutions are now providing their services through the internet and electronic media, and in order to go along with the modern technology and the large use of internet and electronic dealing, led PACI to do its role in verifying the ID of the users through the electronic signature project throughout the smart ID card,” said Director General of PACI Mosaed Al-Asousi yesterday. This project consists of two parts; the electronic certification and a secret number. “PACI will issue a certificate of electronic verification, which will be saved in the electronic chip of the smart ID.
