EU Member States celebrate Go-Live of the Once-Only Technical System 

You no longer need to search for your data, your data comes to you.

12 December 2023 | 5 minutes read

Veronica Gaffey, Director-General for Digital Services (DIGIT) and Amaryllis Verhoeven, Head of Unit for Digital transformation of industry (DG GROW) symbolically launching the Once-Only Technical System.

The 12 December 2023 is the legal deadline for Member States to implement the Once-Only Technical System, as set-out in the Single Digital Gateway Regulation.

This new EU-wide technical system will allow Member States to handle cross-border administrative tasks more efficiently and eliminate persistent transaction costs that remain after the digitisation of public services. Whether it is a citizen changing their address or businesses obtaining essential permits to provide services in another country, this system will enable Member States to get the required evidence directly from the official registries, upon a citizen or business’ request.

In simple terms, Once-Only replaces the need for the user to search and download evidence for the sole purpose of re-uploading it in another governmental website (meaning it is uploaded “only once”). Once-Only embodies the European values of user-centricity and personal control of ones data.
