A single portal of online government services at my.gov.uz was launched in a test mode in Uzbekistan, the press-service of State Committee for Communication, Informatization and Telecommunication Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan reported on Monday.

The single portal offers interactive government services to public and business entities through a single access point in real time mode.

The single portal was established in accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers "On measures for further improvement of the governmental web portal of the Republic of Uzbekistan with the provision of online public services", which was adopted at the end of 2012.

The implementation of the project is an important step in the formation and development of the "electronic government".

Currently, about 60 services are being provided through the single portal in the test mode, including services for reception, registration and consideration of applications for connecting fixed line telephone services and the Internet for legal and physical persons, obtaining information of the state tax services on the lack of tax liabilities, obtaining licenses in the sphere of telecommunication, which are available in automatic mode.

In addition, the services on sending applications for obtaining appropriate licenses in various spheres are provided for entrepreneurs.

Through the single portal the citizens and business entities may also submit an appeal to the bodies of state and economic management of state authorities at the local level.

One of the main components of the single portal is the "Statistics" module, which provides the topical information on the status of consideration of applications and users' requests by the government bodies.

This module will contribute to further provision of transparency and openness of the activity of government bodies and to increasing the efficiency of cooperation between the government bodies and the population of the republic.

"The developers are open to suggestions of citizens, business entities and government bodies on further improvement of the single portal," the press service of the committee said.
