Single Digital Gateway –
Access for Citizens

The logical next step is to enter into digital communication between citizens, social security institutions and authorities. This is important because the coordination rules in the area of cross-border social security are complex, and it is often not possible to resort to the domestic administration. With the Single Digital Gateway (SDG), a portal has been created where citizens and businesses can find basic information on European law, access targeted national information and access various online services. This is because the European portal is connected to the individual Member State portals, in Germany to the federal portal. The SDG can be found under “Your Europe”.
