Requesting and obtaining personal documents such as passports and certificates has up to now usually required citizens to contact public authorities by mail or in person. At this time, citizens do not report a high preference for using this service online, as shown by the 50% or lower preference. Even when preference for this service is relatively high, this may not correlate with high usage. As (awareness of) availability of this online service is very low, very few people have ever tried using this online service.
