"Slovenian public administration is among the most advanced in Europe in the field of interoperability, which is due to careful investments in informatization of basic public registers," emphasized Stane Štefančič, director of Genis.

Slovenian public administration has taken excellent second place in European Union at the most recent electronic services development survey. Advanced services which are being promptly implemented are designed on quality back office system which consists of national registers, such as Central Population Register, Population Register and Permanent Population Register.

"Genis is proud that practically all Europe acknowledges our public registers information solutions as good practice.  By collaborating on projects, such as PanEU, we will try to assert Genis's solutions also in wider European context," also said Štefančič.

PanEU – connecting registers among EU countries
Genis has developed web service for registering permanent or temporary residence in Slovenia for EU citizens. Service enables fast acquiring of UPIN and tax number upon submission of valid certified foreign digital certificate. This way, EU citizens can file applications for acquiring permanent or temporary residence in Slovenia faster, without Administration Unit procedures and public administration procedures are also substantially shortened. With acquired Slovenian identificators, obtained through preliminary registration procedure, users can also use all other electronic services of Slovenian public administration.
