E-Government

The digital modernisation of administration is anchored in three key pillars. Under the Online Access Act (OZG), citizen and business portals — including the Federal Portal – are undergoing comprehensive modernisation to enable seamless digital access to public services. Looking ahead, the goal extends beyond digitising application forms to full end-to-end processing. From submission and internal review to final notification, every step of the administrative procedure will be handled digitally for both citizens and businesses. Register modernisation contributes to this by promoting the digitalisation of data in existing registers. Using clear and secure identification – such as the EUDI Wallet – it becomes possible to handle administrative procedures entirely online. A prerequisite for this is the robust and efficient management of digital identities.

As part of the register modernization effort, Bundesdruckerei has already designed, implemented, and operates various registers, including the Organ and Tissue Donation Register, the Outpatient Care Employee Register, and the Federal Foreign Office's Crisis Preparedness List (ELEFAND). It is also involved in committees and consultation processes and is participating in pilot projects to test the technical feasibility of various register modernization projects.

The Bundesdruckerei Group is actively driving the conception and implementation of the EUDI Wallet at the national and European levels. For example, it is working with partners on behalf of the Federal Ministry of the Interior to develop the architecture for the implementation of the national wallet ecosystem. Or acts as a technical service provider for the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and Transport (BMDV) and the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) in the prototype implementation of the digital driver's license, including piloting within the framework of the EU project "EU Large Scale Pilot". 

Bundesdruckerei GmbH was commissioned by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) with the technical and organizational implementation of the federal portal. Together with the authorities, it developed the "authority access" system. This enables seamless end-to-end digitization from the application stage to the notification to the citizen. Bundesdruckerei also set up a "production line," a kind of serial production of online forms that allows authorities to quickly and conveniently convert paper forms into online services. Starting in 2025, a "form construction kit" will also enable the administration to create digital forms themselves using an intuitive user interface.
