Colombia launches military service app
Colombia's ICT ministry (MinTIC) has launched a mobile app to streamline the process of regularization of mandatory military service in the country.
With the solution, called "Mi Tarjeta Militar", the government said it also expects to reduce the activity of intermediaries, who charge the public for their services, and reduce the related red tape.
The app was developed by MinTIC in partnership with Colombian government agency Innpulsa and the reserve recruitment and control command body of the armed forces. Presented in January, the app is being made available to citizens now on IoS and Android.
The app allows citizens to register, monitor their current military situation, receive notifications on the process in real time, download their certificate of military service and obtain a digital record. It is aimed both at those exempted from service and those who are enlisted.
The goal is to facilitate the process of defining the military situation of approximately 800,000 Colombians per year, providing all the information necessary for the provision of military service or to obtain the relevant documentation of their service.
The government estimates that this digital solution will lead to average savings of some 50,000 pesos (US$18) per person, in relation to transportation and paper costs.
