Regulations on paper and in-person processes Review Efforts in local governments

In Digital Agency, we are working to review the "digital society" in the national law and other areas toward the realization of the regulations on paper and in-person processes.
"regulations on paper and in-person processes" refers to rules (regulation) premised on analog methods (such as confirmation by human eyes, participation in on-site and face-to-face training, and posting of official certificates in writing) that inhibit the use of digitalization and digital technology. As declining birthrate and aging population progresses and labor shortages are expected to worsen in all industries and workplaces in the future, it is essential to promote digitalization of society as a whole, improve productivity by using digital technology, and realize labor substitution. To this end, it is necessary to make efforts to review law by changing existing systems and regulations on paper and in-person processes to a state in which digital technology can be used.
In order for each and every citizen to further realize the benefits of the realization of digital society, it is important for local governments, which provides much of public service that is closely related to the lives of the people, to review regulations on paper and in-person processes and change systems and rules.

This page summarizes and posts information related to national efforts and the regulations on paper and in-person processes Review in order to support the regulations on paper and in-person processes Review efforts in local governments.
