2012: Testing

On January 30, 2012 it became known that the Republic of Dagestan among the first regions of Russia sent the request to federal authorized organization JSC Universalnaya elektronnaya karta for production of a test batch of the universal electronic cards (UEC).

"It would be desirable to emphasize that our republic will receive a test batch of universal electronic cards among the first regions of Russia. It is pleasant that from the moment of conclusion of an agreement about project implementation on implementation of cards there passed not enough time, – the deputy head of department of the government of the Republic of Dagestan on information technologies Asiyat Mutalimova emphasized. – We calculate that test UECs successfully will undergo trial operation, and already in the near future inhabitants of the region will begin to use universal electronic maps. Thanks to cards they will significantly reduce the time which is usually spent in queues when receiving public services".

As envisioned by developers, UEC should interact with the infrastructure of the electronic government created in regions actively. With respect thereto the release of the first batch of universal electronic cards will be limited: in February, 2012 they will be received by the staff of authorized organization and authorized body of the government for the organization of issue, release and service of UEC in the Republic of Dagestan – specialists of Transnet and Management of the government of the Republic of Dagestan in information technologies.

Validity period of the UECs test cards is expected three months. In the course of testing possible errors will be analyzed and offers on improvement of operation of universal electronic cards for the purpose of further development of the project on implementation of UEC in the republic are formulated.

Using the universal electronic card the citizen will be able to pay the public, municipal and commercial services, including housing and communal services, tickets, communication, purchases in shop, - the same as the normal bank card. UEC will be shown for identification of the citizen in any point of Russia and will allow to receive far off services which were provided only at a corporal appearance earlier (for example, at document creation on the real estate), having saved from need to have at itself a set of paper documents. At the same time the card does not cancel a traditional method of receiving public services - it is the modern alternative granting to each citizen option.

Medvedev of the information complex "Technopark Mordovia" in Saransk our specialists showed the software for authorized organization of the subject for issue of universal electronic cards and rendering services using UEC. It is pleasant that from the country leaders and the Republic of Mordovia to this subject genuine interest was shown".
