Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services Changes Address Sharing Requirements for Large Companies

Strategic Insights -

The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) has modified the deadlines for large companies providing public services, such as internet, electricity, and telephone, to share their customers' physical addresses with the public administration. The new standard sets a 45-day period, allowing these companies to initiate the referral by the 15th day of each month. This change aims to ensure the public administration receives up-to-date data, facilitating access to social benefits and public services.

  • The previous standard allowed for a 30-day period and shipment until the 10th day of each month.
  • The change aims to facilitate access to social benefits and public services by ensuring the public administration receives the latest data.
  • Personal data will be pseudo- anonymized when shared, ensuring security and preventing direct association with individuals.
