E-Government Act

Despite ongoing digitalization, there will continue to be a choice in how to communicate with offices and authorities in the future.

This important legal foundation benefits those who prefer analog correspondence.

Unless otherwise regulated by federal law, in addition to electronic communication, at least one other form of communication must be provided for interaction with the respective authority, according to the amendment to the E-Government Act.

The amendment also lays the groundwork for further steps in digitalizing administration.
