‘Digitalisation Federal Public Services’ of the Federal State

This investment, which receives EUR 218 million from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, aims at accelerating the digitalisation of various federal administration services, both internally and in their contacts with citizens. A significant part of the investment focuses on the digital transformation of civil, commercial and criminal courts, including the modernisation of existing hardware infrastructure and equipment, deploying videoconferencing capabilities, and introducing a digital case file (including a digital registry). In addition, the project aims at increasing the rate of online publication of judgments, which is currently low but essential to help individuals and businesses comply with the law.

The requirements, design and solutions for the different sub-measures which are part of the overall investment have been defined and approved. A programme management office for the digitalisation of the Belgian justice department has been set up, and a portal ‘Just-on-Web' has been put online. This portal will offer services to public authorities, firms, lawyers and individuals, such as consultation of official documents and court cases and verdicts or payment of fines.

All projects will be operational by Q2 2026.

More information on the different sub-measures can be found on the webpage of Just-on-Web here or on the project webpage here.
