Digitalization of Administrative Procedures

Abstract

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to adapt the institution of administrative procedures to social relations that are formed with the use of digital technologies. The purpose of the article is to study the impact of digitalization on administrative procedures, taking into account the latest changes in the legal regulation of legal relations arising due to information and communication technologies. To achieve it within the framework of the system approach, a set of general scientific and special methods of cognition is used. The basis of the research is the dialectical method of scientific knowledge of the phenomena of reality in their development and interrelationship. Achieving certain research objectives necessitated the use of such methods as: formal-logical (dogmatic), system analysis, structural-functional, and others, which made it possible to comprehensively investigate problematic aspects of the implementation of administrative procedures in digital form. Both normative acts defining the basics of legal relations in digital form and normative acts regulating administrative procedures were analyzed. Aspects of electronic identification of subjects of administrative procedures are disclosed. It is emphasized that the digitization of administrative procedures allows to significantly simplify and speed up procedural activities as a result of ensuring the receipt of reliable information through information and communication systems, which is necessary to establish the actual circumstances of an administrative case. It was emphasized that at present the electronic form of administrative procedures cannot be without alternatives. In order to prevent indirect discrimination due to different possibilities of access to information and communication technologies for participation in administrative procedures, it is necessary to implement a set of measures aimed at overcoming "digital inequality".
