The city of Zug is becoming even more digital
The city of Zug has launched a new eGovernment solution. Services from authorities can be obtained digitally via the eZug app. The core of the app is the eID + technology from Procivis. This is already in use in the north of the Greater Zurich Area in Schaffhausen.
The city of Zug has introduced a new app called eZug, according to a media release . This is a digital platform for residents. They can use this to identify themselves to city authorities, request and receive official documents and keep them safe or forward them. This is currently possible, for example, for certificates of ability to act, identity cards, certificates of repute, certificates of residence or extracts from debt enforcement. Over time, new services should be added continuously. For example, a parent portal is to be integrated into the app by summer. There parents and teachers of the city schools should be able to communicate with each other.
“The launch of eZug shows that we are speeding up the implementation of our smart city strategy. With eZug we are laying an important foundation stone for other planned e-government applications, ”said Mayor Karl Kobelt in the message.
The core of the app is the eID + technology developed by Procivis AG in Zurich and successfully used by the Canton of Schaffhausen since 2018. Residents who already use the existing ZUGLOGIN infrastructure can have the information they have entered there transferred to the new app.
