Citizen Service Number for Residents of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba
A new bill will give residents of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba a citizen service number by 2025. This will improve digital government services.
Citizens and businesses in Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba (Dutch Caribbean) must be able to benefit from the opportunities of values-driven digitalisation and mitigate risks. This is not yet the case. That is why we are strengthening the government’s digital services, improving infrastructure and increasing the knowledge and skills of citizens and businesses. Similarly, we are working with Aruba, Curaçao and St Maarten. There are similar issues there that we are solving together.
Be digitally mature so that everyone in the Dutch Caribbean has access to sufficient knowledge, services and facilities to fully benefit from opportunities and adequately mitigate risks.
Collaborate on the digital foundation with the society, business community and government of Aruba, Curaçao and St Maarten to ensure that they are adequately equipped.
