Public Sector Improving Citizen Service & Cutting Costs
  • Print

Signature Solutions for the Public Sector

Government agencies around the world seek to reduce paper-use for various purposes: Saving costs, speeding up processes, improving service for citizens and last, but not least “going green”.

Electronic Signature Capturing is the key to achieving those goals as digital processes are no longer interrupted by printing, scanning or faxing.

Digitizing Signatures throughout the writing process also improves the process security thanks to the recording of biometric aspects of the signature. These are characteristics not available with wet-ink signatures captured on paper.  

 

Some examples for active applications with SOFTPRO's technology inside in the Public Sector

e-Signing (Signature Capturing)

  • Electronic Identity Cards (eIDs)
    • German citizens applying for their eID-card ("neuer Personalausweis") sign in an increasing number of registration offices with SOFTPRO SignDoc on DESKO's SP-500 Tablet Kiosk or on SignPads
    • Swiss citizens sign for their "neuer Pass 10" on SignPad eSignios built in kiosk systems of our partner Siemens
  • Driver Licenses: Signature capturing on SignPads in a solution of partners AKDB/kommIt - on DESKO's SP-500 Tablet Kiosk or on SignPads
  • Residence Permits for Third-Country Nationals: Signing to apply for these permits is one of the next use cases of SignDoc in the Public Sector. In Germany the respective document is entitled “e-Aufenthaltstitel” (eAT) (Solution Partners: AKDB/kommIt)
Uniform format for residence permits for third-country nationals Council Regulation (EC) No 380/2008 of 18 April 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 1030/2002e-Aufenthaltstitel (eAT)

SOFTPRO is also a vital part in INTERPOL's e-passport initiative to set global standard in travel document security. INTERPOL's e-passport initiative

Signature Verification (Fraud Prevetion)

  • Postal Voting: Automatic signature verification integrated in a solution of our partner Xpress Software Solutions prevents signature fraud with postal votes in the United Kingdom
  • Disclosure Services: These services where established by public authorities to reduce risks of abuse of children and vulnerable adults. Applications of persons for jobs in areas where a disclosure is needed, for example schools, hospitals and other organizations. The idea is to be able to reject applicants who have been identified as unsuitable to work in these jobs. Before automatic signature verification was established in this process in 2003 tens of thousands of disclosures per week were processed manually which led to a substantial bottleneck of the whole process. Since then signatures are scanned, stored and verified using SOFTPRO SignPlus modules.
