IAM Smart Users Exceed 1 Million
More than 1 million users have registered for iAM Smart and over 160 commonly used government, public and private online services are now accessible through the one-stop personalised digital service platform, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer said today.
Noting that the number of registered users and services accessible through iAM Smart have been rising continuously in less than a year since its launch, the office said a bank has adopted remote account opening for mobile banking through digital identity verification with the use of the platform.
Popular online services of iAM Smart include checking COVID-19 electronic vaccination records, using eHealth services, filing tax returns with eTAX, submitting online applications for renewal of vehicle licences, submitting Working Family Allowance applications, and checking electricity and gas bills.
The office said that more government services will adopt iAM Smart, including the Internet Booking Service of Leisure Link and the online services of the public libraries of the Leisure & Cultural Services Department.
Wider use of it will be promoted to enable the public to handle daily affairs online more securely and efficiently, it added.
