Service « Identification using the AVS number »

What does this identification mean?

An identification procedure makes it possible for the administration of the canton of Fribourg to verify that your digital identity on the service portal does in fact correspond to you (as a natural person). This will also provide you with security with regard to your administrative procedures, such as ensuring that documents are sent to the right person.
