In the year 2021 a law regarding the digital mailbox in the government's centralized service portal was approved. With them, the government's vision of having a main channel of communication with individuals and companies digitally and centralized in one place through the Island.is' digital mailbox was established.

A finished plan regarding the implementation of the digital mailbox for institutions aims to make all main data from the government available for individuals and companies in the mailbox by 2025. The purpose of the laws about digital mailbox is to better public services, increase transparency in cases and ensure a safe passage to share data to individuals and companies. The implementation of the laws will as well lead to positive environmental effects since digital communications don't demand the use of paper or traveling between places.
