Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic

What Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic does

The Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is the central executive authority of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic responsible for digital development, telecommunications, postal services, e-government, and road transport, operating under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. It serves the citizens of the autonomous republic and the region's state institutions, providing unified access to digital government services through the mygov platform, the SIMA cloud-based digital signature combining facial recognition and public key cryptography, electronic signatures, SmartDOC document services, IPTV and radio-television broadcasting, fixed telephony, and high-speed broadband internet delivered over GPON fiber infrastructure with IMS platform support and DVB-T2 broadcasting standards. The Ministry coordinates the Onlayn Azerbaijan national broadband initiative alongside partners including Aztelekom MMC, Bakı Telefon Rabitəsi MMC, Azeronline LTD, and Smart Systems Technology, and runs the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center in cooperation with Israel's Technion Institute and PASHA Holding.

The entity is funded through the government budget and collects regulated fees on telecom and postal services (e.g., 3.5 manats/month residential telephone subscription, 0.18–0.288 AZN/minute mobile calls, 30 manats one-time telephone recording connection) set by the Tariff (Price) Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Distribution relies on physical service centers across 8 rayons and cities, an interactive service mapping system with 6 service types, call centers at 109 and 116, and digital channels including the official multilingual portal nmincom.gov.az plus active accounts on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and YouTube. Subordinate entities include the newly merged Nakhchivan Post and Telecommunications Center LLC (formed December 2025 from Nakhchivanpost, Nakhchivan Telecom LLC, and the Radio-Television Transmission Center) and the public legal entity NTelegram, established in October 2024 from the Internet and New Technologies Training Center and district communication departments.

Reported scale metrics include 100% fixed broadband coverage, approximately 3 million households connected, 66 Mbit/s average fixed broadband speed as of January 2024, and an Ookla "Fastest Fixed Network Award" at Mobile World Congress 2024 (for Aztelekom MMC under the Onlayn Azerbaijan project). The Ministry continues to expand into adjacent mandates including cashless public transport payments and cross-border logistics cooperation tied to the Zangazur Corridor, while pursuing international positioning through Universal Postal Union council candidacies and partnerships such as with Estonia's e-Governance Academy Foundation.
