Canton Aargau with new online portal

The Canton of Aargau is launching a new website for its population and the businesses and organizations located in the canton. About the "Smart Service Portal" numerous government services such as confirmations, applications, permits or support requests should now be accessible.

More structured offering of government services

The focus is on a joint offering of digital services from the public sector. The canton and the 200 municipalities already have digital services and offerings on their websites. However, it has not always been clear to residents where to obtain which service, the canton writes in a statement.

More services between cantons and municipalities

Cooperation between the canton and municipalities is therefore to be strengthened with more services. It is true that the municipalities and the canton have been cooperating for a long time in the provision of electronic services under the catchword "e-government Aargau". Now, however, the process is being transformed.

"The digitalization of our everyday lives obliges the public sector to reorganize, structure and optimize its processes," explains State Secretary Joana Filippi.

The focus is on added value for the population and for the economy of the canton of Aargau; they will benefit from a "fast and simple exchange with the administration that is independent of time and place," the statement continues. In the future, users will be able to access the joint offering of digital services from the canton and the municipalities via the website of their municipality, the Smart Service Portal or directly via the main portal.
