Thursday, 30 November 2023 08:24

On November 30 in Bishkek, a portal for obtaining information on regulatory documents, ELICENSE.GOV.KG, was introduced to business community representatives and government agencies.

Currently serving as a pilot project, the portal allows the acquisition of information on regulatory documents from four government bodies. In the near future, the portal is expected to expand its offerings and become a unified registry for obtaining all licensing permits from various government bodies.

The online portal enables the private sector to save time by accessing up-to-date information on licenses and permissions without physically visiting government institutions.

During the presentation, the director of "Ulut Soft," the company responsible for developing the portal, conducted a demonstration session on registration and application submission on the portal. The application submission process is fully automated, with authentication through the Electronic Digital Signature and integrated with the Tunduk portal.

It was highlighted that since its launch, the portal has received over 40,000 visits, indicating a positive trend and significant interest from the business community. Notably, aside from Kyrgyzstan, many visits were recorded from countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan, the United States, Indonesia, and others, serving as a promising indicator for investment attraction efforts.

*This portal was developed under the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic dated August 16, 2021, No. 144-r, for obtaining necessary licenses for entrepreneurial activities issued by state authorities and local self-government bodies.
