Drivers ride the Gdańsk www super highway - but only for part of the journey

Gdańsk is the first city in Poland to allow its citizens to file for car registration, as well as perform numerous other services, via the Internet, at www.gdansk.pl. In order to register a car, a Gdańsk citizen may fill out the form over the Internet and within 48 hours they will receive a call from the town hall to schedule a meeting, where they have to present original documents necessary for registration. It is also possible to use the Internet to inform city authorities about the sale of a car or major changes which require official notification. However, due to a lack of appropriate regulations on electronic signatures, only a part of each procedure can take place over the Internet, with a visit at the town hall required eventually.
