With the new biometric signature function provided by SİMA İmza, created by AzInTelecom LLC under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, signing documents by someone other than the actual signature owner anyone will be prevented.

Thus, with the introduction of a new functionality, biometric identification will be carried out for re-confirmation after entering the PIN code on the mobile phone screen during signing. Whether the signer really is the owner of the signature will be verified using SİMA İmza’s special artificial intelligence and biometric technology.

Biometric identity and liveness of the person will be verified based on facial features. The signing process of the user whose identification was successful will be completed. This entire process will only take a few seconds.

Important to note the fact that this innovation is mainly intended to prevent the misuse of electronic signatures. Thus, recently, during investigations conducted by law enforcement agencies and courts (mainly on financial crimes), it was found that cases of forgery in signing critical documents are often encountered.

The State Tax Service has earlier informed citizens through an official statement.

It is important to note that similar cases may also occur in other areas where electronic signatures are applied (government services, banking, insurance, electronic customs, etc.). In order to prevent such unpleasant situations, it is recommended that public institutions and private enterprises use SİMA İmza's biometric solution. Thus, partners integrating with SİMA İmza will eliminate the above-mentioned use cases thanks to the approval carried out through the face signature.

It should also be noted that within the framework of joint cooperation between the State Tax Service and AzInTelecom, the process of integrating SİMA İmza with the e-taxes.gov.az portal is almost completed.

It is predicted that the mentioned negative cases will be reduced to a minimum after the log-in and signing service with SİMA İmza is active on the portal.

SİMA İmza creates a number of advantages for both citizens and service providers. With the new generation digital signature, financial costs are reduced, time loss is prevented. Also, SİMA İmza's ability to be integrated into any system, as well as automation, gives users the ability to sign quickly and in any number.

To obtain a digital signature it is enough to download the SİMA İmza mobile application to the device and register once. SİMA İmza, which increases accessibility to digital services, will speed up business processes in our country.
