Estonia has digitized all government services, from voting to paying taxes and even getting divorced. CBC's radio show
The Current with Matt Galloway look at what it would take to bring that online efficiency to Canada.
Digital divorce portal was launched in Estonia last December, its e-divorce service has now processed 53 per cent of divorce applications in the country.
The service can be accessed through the population registry’s self-service portal. Only one partner needs to fill out the application which is pre-filled with data from the registry. This then prompts the other partner to do so as well.
After a 30-day cooling-off period, the couple only needs to physically meet with a government official once before finalising their divorce.
The portal also provides guidance and tools for families to navigate child custody and marital property agreements.
