The onboarding of competent authorities to the Once-Only Technical System continues to be a major strategic focus in 2025. This is a fundamental step in delivering an effective technical system that will reduce the cross-border administrative burden for European citizens and businesses and help optimise cross-border procedures.

‘Europe goes Once-Only – Lithuania edition’ will be a key event for engaging with competent authorities and helping them connect to the Once-Only Technical System, especially those in the population, education, and business domains.

A second strategic focus in 2025 is to assist the Member States in conducting live transactions and rolling out Once-Only services. This event will support those Member States who are close to conducting live transactions in preparing for this crucial step through a dedicated workshop.

Finally, this event will be a great opportunity for discussing the value of Once-Only in the broader context of European interoperability and key initiatives, such as EU Digital Identity Wallets.
