The Online Access Act is a law of Germany. It was passed on August 29, 2017. The law aims to make the administration digital and modern. The law applies to the federal government and the federal states. Citizens and companies should be able to use the administration online. This makes contact with authorities easier. The city of Bad Homburg fulfills the requirements of the law. It adheres to the time limits.
The E-Government department of the city of Bad Homburg is responsible for the Online Access Act. The city has divided all services into categories. These categories are part of the Online Access Act. Many services are online. Some services are not yet online. This is due to laws or technology. For example, you cannot apply for an ID card online. These services can be used on site. There is an "Online Services" section on the website. There you can see the digital services. Some services are only available for a short time. For example, registration for the Christmas market or the vacation card. These services are not available all year round.
This is Michelle. Michelle is lying on the beach. She is enjoying her vacation by the sea. There's a palm tree and sunshine. Maybe she still has a cocktail in her hand. Suddenly she thinks about her business registration. She has forgotten it. Now she's on vacation. She can't go to the business registration office.
Luckily, Michelle has an idea. She takes her cell phone. She registers her business online. She can log in securely via SigningBroker. She can authenticate herself. SigningBroker enables her to log in to her bank. This happens when she opens the application. By logging into online banking, she is authenticated. She can use the online services on our website.
