To date, digital signature certification service providers have provided more than 10,000 digital signatures free of charge to the capital's residents to carry out administrative procedures and electronic transactions.

Of which, Viettel Telecommunications Corporation has issued 3,440 digital signatures; VNPT Hanoi has issued 2,114 digital signatures;FPT Corporation has issued 2,033 digital signatures and BKV Technology Corporation has issued more than 2,000 digital signatures.

Mr. Nguyen Tien Sy said: "Digital signatures bring many practical benefits to organizations, businesses and individuals in determining legality when participating in activities and transactions in the electronic environment, which is an indispensable condition towards digital transformation and digital government in the future."

Recently, the National Center for Electronic Authentication (Ministry of Information and Communications) has also coordinated with the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem District to deploy a booth to provide free digital signatures for people in the walking street area of Hoan Kiem Lake and surrounding areas every Saturday and Sunday.

In order to improve the quality of service for citizens in handling administrative procedures, the Hanoi Department of Information and Communications has issued a document requesting departments, branches, sectors, People's Committees of districts, towns, and cities to coordinate with enterprises to deploy the issuance of free digital signatures for Hanoi citizens; at the same time, arrange human resources at the one-stop-shop section of departments, branches, sectors, People's Committees of districts, towns, cities, and communes, wards, and cities to coordinate with enterprises to guide and issue free digital signatures for citizens, from April 3.

According to Mr. Sy, the application of digital signatures in the digital transformation process is extremely important. In the coming time, the City People's Committee will submit to the People's Council a policy of exemption and reduction of fees and charges for using online public services and online payments to encourage people and businesses to participate in the implementation.

Hanoi aims to increase the rate of online public service usage in the coming time, ensuring that 100% of people have accounts on the public service portal, and that at least 50% of arising records are received and processed online. In particular, 100% of the capital's citizens are provided with free digital signatures to serve the implementation of online public services and transactions in the electronic environment.

To promote the development of digital signatures in Hanoi, digital signature certification service providers recommend that the Hanoi People's Committee and specialized departments such as health, education, tourism, etc. consider appropriate regulations for subjects that need to use digital signatures to expand the scope of digital signature service provision.
