In Italy comes theINAD (National Index of Digital Domiciles)an index that represents the place where citizens can register their digital domicile associated with a certified email address (PEC) and receive all official communications from Public Administration (PA). In practice, all communications relating to tax refunds, assessments, tax deductions and other legally relevant communications arrive at the PEC.
INAD, all communications from the PA arrive in PEC mail
From 6 July a digital address list to be used to receive communications from the Public Administration. If a citizen has indicated a PEC address in INAD, the Public Administration will be obliged to use this certified address to send communications, thus avoiding sending registered mail.
The benefits for citizens are obvious: the notifications will arrive in real time, without the risk of delays or delivery problems, with a considerable saving of time and costs. It will not be necessary to go to the post offices and the use of paper will be reduced.
Stefano Sordi, Chief Executive Officer of Aruba PEC and General Manager of Aruba, explains: “This is a fundamental step forward for the digitization of the country and the simplification of bureaucracy. The new service allows citizens to register their PEC address on INAD, which becomes a unified channel for receiving all communications from the Public Administration. However, as the main PEC Manager, we can confirm that even before the birth of INAD, a large part of private individuals had already decided to have a PEC box, thanks to the substantial advantages that the tool brings, against a very low cost. We therefore expect that the digital home will strengthen the benefits for those who already have it and push more citizens to activate it.”
A more functional PA
INAD is voluntary, just have a personal PEC to participate. To register, for free, you must access this site with Spid, Cie or CNS. “The purpose of this Index is to replace the physical domicile for the delivery of official communications but it is also an important element in reducing our impact on the environment and contain the costs incurred by the Public Administration – continued Stefano Sordi.
“On the other hand, to receive a registered letter it is necessary to be physically present in the place and at the time of delivery in order to be able to sign the receipt, while a communication delivered digitally, therefore on your PEC, can be received and read while on the move and anywhereat no cost, without the delays due to sending paper mail and with the same legal value as a registered letter with return receipt.”
This makes the PEC even more functional. Sordi continues: “The PEC has managed over the years to build a communication system that has changed and improved the habits of millions of Italians, companies and public administrations. Indeed, we can confirm that the number of activations continues to grow, at the moment yes there are 9 million mailboxes activated with Aruba alone. Today, even the use of the PEC as a cornerstone of INAD represents a further recognition of the value of this tool which continues to play a primary role in terms of making communication processes more efficient, saving energy and, last but not least, it is the demonstration of competence and credibility of our country in the digital transformation sector”.
