Remote verification for notaries | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Remote verification, initially meant for e-residents, but now used to avoid face-to-face interactions while ensuring a flexible environment for business. Veriff's identity verification technology enables notarial acts to be carried out at Estonia's foreign representations without physically visiting a notary's office.
