With the gateway application (Service Directive), short: GW application (EG-DLRL) and the "Electronic Court and Administration Mailbox" (EGVP), ITVSH offers two options for legally binding and confidential (encrypted) electronic communication.

With regard to administrative procedures, electronic communication complies with § 52a LVwG. According to this, electronic transfer of documents is permissible if the recipient has provided a corresponding access. According to § 126a German Civil Code (BGB), the same applies in private law. ITVSH provides the required access in accordance with the framework conditions described below. These conditions only apply for electronic communication with ITVSH. For legally binding and confidential electronic communication with other authorities, institutes or organisations in Schleswig-Holstein, their regulations apply.

2. Rules applying to electronic communication

2.1 Informal procedures

For procedures and requests that do not require a signature and do not (are not intended to) set off a legal time period, no electronic signature is needed.

Informal procedures or requests can be submitted per e-mail (info[at]ea-sh.de) to the ITVSH. This e-mail address shall not be used for legally binding submissions of documents, applications or for filing appeals.

If these e-mail addresses are made available by employees of the ITVSH or are shown on the letterheads, they can be used for submission of informal procedures or requests.

If you want to electronically submit information to ITVSH in an encrypted and/or signed way to protect confidential data, you can use the program EGVP which is available for download at www.egvp.de. The gateway application (EG-DLRL) only serve for signed and encrypted submission of appendices. ITVSH cannot accept other encrypted or signed e-mails for technical and organisational reasons.
