Iron Mountain Paperless Consulate solution is a comprehensive suite of services streamlining your consulates processes, transforming customer experience while achieving compliance.

Paper and manual processes are slowing you down

Consulates typically cover a range of civil registration services supporting citizens living abroad. Similarly to other public offices, consulates are having to deal with legacy documentation typically handwritten and stored in physical registers, which over time has caused physical archives to grow exponentially, making it difficult to find information easily. The recent Covid-19 pandemic added enormous pressure to public offices and consulates to remotely issue, renew and verify citizen documents.

Large physical archives are presenting privacy and security concerns, due to the impossibility to easily apply data retention policies in real time on large volumes of critical documents. This is exposing consulates to potential data breaches and fines. In addition, the high volume of requests for copies of records, cases and dispatches, along with reliance on manual, in-person processes have resulted in long wait times, and in some cases, disruption in services with consequent dissatisfied citizens.
