What does and agency have to do?

  • Authorised signatory submits an application to Island.is with a technical contact

  • Connect a document library to "Straumurinn" (X-Road)

Benefits for government agencies and companies

  • Secure transfer of data

  • Control and overview of accessibility

  • Convenience in installation and operation

  • Standard communication mechanisms between information systems to avoid duplication in public communication.

  • Data is shared between institutions, not by people. Information on individuals registered in one system can flow to another and information, the state already has, does not need to be requested from citizens.

Once Straumurinn is installed and ready for use, government agencies will be able to share information with each other.
