Digital services for all

Digitalising the main channel of public communication is to improve services to the public. The digital service has two main features; improved information delivery and increased self-service.

The Digital policy regarding public services is transparent, safe, simple and fast. The public and companies in Iceland can get directly to the material anywhere and at any time, which saves people valuable time.

Digital Iceland is working according to the Digital Policy and strives to ensure that all those who want to use digital channels have the opportunity to do so. Therefore, Digital Iceland is actively talking to several stakeholders and prioritising projects in this way. Nothing is compromised when it comes to accessibility. All projects of Digital Iceland are based on content strategy, accessibility guidelines and design system to ensure the highest standards of access.

Digital Iceland also contributes to two important projects, thus increasing the number of people who can access digital services. These projects are designed to improve services to older people and development of digital accessibility solutions for people with disabilities. Thus, we at Digital Iceland wish to make a contribution to making digital services accessible to all.
