The ICT Ministry launched on Thursday the beta version of its digitized government services portal, according to a ministry statement. The new online platform (digital.gov.eg) allows users to create a personal account by registering a national ID and mobile phone number that would enable access to 70 government services including driver’s license renewal, subsidy card access, official document requests and notary services. The platform will also be accepting service payments through e-payment companies on the new platform and a mobile application will be launched in the coming weeks before the full launch of the digitized platform will be made available by the end of the year.
