I Introduction
eGovernment in Estonia got started by developing a functional architecture that includes: - secure data transport backbone X-Road, - distributed information systems functionality and - different hardware and software components like portals, elements of public key infrastructure (PKI), governmental databases and information systems. This is the very basis of hundreds of services that have been created today. The recent success with eGoverment services and the common architecture of eGovernment will be given in our presentation.

ring the last 3-4 years we have finished different IT projects for implementing overnment architecture in the public sector of Estonia. As the result of the ntioned projects, the following service portals, environments and frameworks now available in Estonia: Special citizens web portal with db-services. Portal has won an award Finalist with Honourable Mentions of the eEurope awards for eGovernment 2003. The portals eServices will step-by-step be added to the citizen portal (KIT) in the nearest future; Framework of the facilities for using Estonian ID-card (over 50% of Estonian population has already an electronic ID-card) with PKI technology for identification, authorization and digital signature operations; Citizens, civil servants and entrepreneurs web portals with almost 500 different eServices from different Estonian central and local governments.
The set of standard services available include typical queries, such as: "give me my data" from the population register; "give me my data" from the motor vehicles register.
