He highlighted that this new procedure citizen can extract digital administrative documents online at any time and without the need to move to the headquarters of the departments and structures that provide services to the citizen, and which will eventually enable the gradual cancellation of the procedures for identifying the signature, and relying on the electronic signature as an alternative measure.
