To broaden the range of e-signature users, the company plans to provide additional benefits for the recipients, as well as to expand the list of e-services whereby they can be used.
The company plans to offer e-signature holders such e-services as ordering a loan without visiting the bank and remote opening of bank accounts. Moreover, users will be able to load balance to SMART cards used for water and gas counters.
So far, the Data Processing Center of the Azerbaijani Communications and Information Technologies Ministry has issued some 15,000 certificates for digital e-signatures. The vast majority of the issued EDS account for government agencies.
The e-signature is available across the entire network of Azerbaijani postal operator Azerpost as well as in ASAN Service centers.
The certificate of an e-signature is produced immediately after the request is received by the registration center. The e-signature's owner gets a relevant notification via e-mail.
The prices on an e-signature range between 14 manats ($17.8) and 30 manats ($38) for the population, depending on the time period, 80 manats ($101.8) for state bodies and between 60 manats ($76) and 168 manats ($213.9) for enterprises.
