Goal and impact

Purpose

The aim of the e-services with the underlying algorithm is to provide maximum support/ guidance to residents and entrepreneurs when submitting a digital application. As a result, this application can be submitted correctly and completely. The algorithm checks various details of the resident. If no details are found in the application or declaration, it can be processed without the intervention of a civil affairs officer.

If one or more peculiarities are found, the application/declaration always enters a work list. There it is checked by a civil affairs employee. The algorithm can only automatically approve an application/declaration. Only the civil affairs officer can reject an application/declaration.

Impact

The impact is that such an application can be dealt with efficiently by the municipality; after all, citizens/companies have already carried out various steps (work), leaving the officer more time for the special and/or complicated declarations/applications the municipality receives. In some cases, this application can even be processed fully automatically. The quality of service goes up because of these services, as does the quality of the data in the BRP.

Considerations

Handling all applications through the counter is no longer an option for municipalities. This is due to numbers and time constraints. An algorithm offers residents and entrepreneurs guidance with (digital) applications. A municipality can choose to submit every digital application to the civil affairs officer for assessment before it is processed. For people who are not or less digitally literate, there is always the option of submitting the application via the municipal counter.

Human intervention

The algorithm assumes a positive scenario. As a result, only simple declarations and applications are processed automatically. When one or more peculiarities occur, the application/declaration is always assessed by an employee. In case of a rejection, it is always the employee who does this and never the algorithm.
