Digital Civil Registry

The project for the interconnection and modernization of civil registration, identity, and vital statistics processes aims to interconnect and modernize the processes of civil identification, civil status registration, and the generation of base information for vital statistics by strengthening institutions (interconnection between the Ministry of Public Health (MSP), National Civil Identification Directorate (DNIC), and the General Directorate of Civil Status Registry (DGREC)) and the electronic issuance of new certificates, indexing, and digitization of existing records.

This project corresponds to the Civil Status Registry Management System (SGREC), which consists of automating the processes related to the registration of acts and facts linked to the civil status of individuals and the issuance of certificate copies. The system includes interconnection with other systems through the Electronic Government Platform. The project scope includes system development and infrastructure management (communications, security, backup, among others).

Additionally, within the project, the SGREC Web (Digital Certificates on the Internet) was implemented, whose objective is to simplify the procedure for requesting and issuing birth, acknowledgment, marriage, divorce abroad, and death certificates. The incorporation of this system allows citizens to obtain certificates easily, quickly, simply, and free of charge in digital format, which have the same validity as paper-format certificates. During the document issuance process, the citizen can directly download the certificate from any device or request that the document be sent to their email account.

 The validity of each document is based on the digital signature, which guarantees the legitimacy of the document issuance and leaves a record of the issuer. Additionally, it certifies that the document has not been altered by external agents outside the civil registry.

Educational Geographic Information System - El Salvador

It includes the georeferencing of educational centers and allows citizens to search for them using different criteria.

The SIGES consultancy consisted of building an information system that centralizes student data at the national level and includes information on students from Early Childhood Education to Secondary Education in its various service modalities. This system was developed by the Ministry of Education of El Salvador and benefits both the educational community and the general public.

SIGES is composed of 8 interoperable modules: Students, Educational Centers, Educational Site Staff, School Documentation, Educational Statistics, Integrated Systems, School Finances, and Management Information System.

Additionally, tools were developed and implemented to benefit the national education system, including:

• Launch of 2 mobile applications (for teachers and family guardians)
• Enablement of online procedures
• Incorporation of 4 Public Portals (Educational Sites Portal, Educational Sites Map, Open Data Portal, and Educational Statistics Portal)
• Incorporation of verifiable QR codes for Secondary Education diplomas.
• Incorporation of Simple Electronic Signature.

The system has implemented interoperability mechanisms through Tenoli (the interoperability solution based on X-Road).

Electronic Signature for the Salvadoran Educational Management Information System (SIGES)

The use of electronic signatures in SIGES aims to automate processes related to the issuance of internal documents. To sign electronically, it is necessary to obtain a digital certificate issued by the Ministry of Education (MINED); with this, each corresponding user will receive their own digital certificate. Examples of documents that can be signed include: enrollment confirmation (by the principal of an educational institution), confirmation of section and academic year closures, grade or report cards for different periods, institutional and final grades (by the responsible teacher), student promotions, transfer requests and approvals, among others.

Advanced Electronic Signature Platform (PFEA)

The Advanced Electronic Signature Platform allows users to digitally sign PDF documents from their personal computers, whether using Windows, Linux, or Mac. Users can sign using their electronic ID card, a personal digital certificate obtained from authorized providers, or their digital identity from various providers. Users can upload PDF documents to the platform either in an authenticated manner (with their ID Uruguay identity) or anonymously, to sign or validate signatures. Additionally, other external applications can integrate with the platform by sending documents for users to sign and retrieving them once the signing process is completed.

Salvadoran Educational Management Information System (SIGES)

The SIGES consultancy consisted of the development of an information system that centralizes student data at the national level, and includes information on students from Early Childhood Education to Upper Secondary Education in its various service modalities. This system was developed by the Ministry of Education of El Salvador and benefits the educational community and the general public.

SIGES is composed of 8 interoperable modules: Students, Educational Centers, Educational Site Staff, School Documentation, Educational Statistics, Integrated Systems, School Finances, and Management Information System.

• Launch of 2 mobile applications (for teachers and family guardians)
• Enabling of online procedures
• Incorporation of 4 Public Portals (Educational Sites Portal, Educational Sites Map, Open Data Portal, and Educational Statistics Portal)
• Incorporation of verifiable QR codes for Upper Secondary Education diplomas
• Incorporation of Simple Electronic Signature

Interoperability mechanisms have been implemented in the system through Tenoli (the interoperability solution based on X-Road).
