As part of the new Digital Economy program (the Digital Government project), it is supposed to provide state and municipal services in electronic form (it's already funny with half a phrase). A number of orders and resolutions have been developed to implement the project on our topic. In particular, on the use, certification and registration of small vessels. We will tell you about the use and registration in separate articles, but we will devote the present one to attestation.
So, we have two orders from the Ministry of Emergency Situations regulating the procedure and form of providing public certification services for the right to operate small vessels used for non-commercial purposes. Order No. 565 of 08/15/2021 - administrative regulations for the provision of public certification services for the management of small vessels used for non-commercial purposes. And Order No. 356 of 07/01/2021 - rules for certification for the right to operate small vessels used for non-commercial purposes.
The regulations and rules of attestation, which entered into force on 03/01/2022, repeal similar orders 262 and 263 and carry some changes not only for inspection specialists, but also for service recipients. Let's try to figure out which ones and what impact they will have on the processes of obtaining and replacing certificates and the certification procedure itself.
What's new?
Electronic certification system:
The entire certification procedure is supposed to be conducted electronically. Starting from registration for the exam through public services (there was a function before, but now it has been fully integrated with the new certification complex) and ending with the result of providing the service - the formation of a registration record on obtaining the right to operate a small vessel used for non-commercial purposes.
On the one hand, it is good and convenient (it could have been if the developed software had worked, the exam questions had been correctly drafted, and on the part of the responsible ministerial officials, proper support would have been provided for the transition process to a new service provision procedure, but alas and ah! what we have, we have...), on the other hand, “electronic document management” is still accompanied by the transfer of an unrealistic amount of paper, bureaucratic red tape and is characterized by radical lack of thought.
