The ‘Electronic Document Wallet’ service available through the ‘My Documents’ section in the Toss app, started in August, enables users to easily issue and submit electronic certificates such as vaccination certificates and resident registration abstracts that can be issued through Government24. Currently, about 700,000 electronic document wallets have been created, and more than 90 major documents supported by Government24 can be easily downloaded.
