The public administrations are intended to protect you, remove obstacles, and empower you to live your life to the fullest— travel, study, work, start businesses, get married, start a family, become a citizen. But, if we’re honest, 90% (if not 99%) of the time, public administrations are the obstacle to your life plans with delays, tedious applications and paperwork, unclear instructions, labyrinthine electronic portals, and interminable “Autofirma” prompts — IYKYK. In other words, they serve functionaries’ interests and not yours.

At Continentalis, we want to provide you with a digital suite of tools to manage your business with the public administrations. We aim to bring more and more tools online each month—both by expanding our documents business as well as to add tools to let you manage your residency application.

In short, we aim to present you with an actually usable wrapper—or for those of us nerds, an API—to interact with public administrations.

It’s our goal to make bureaucracy work for you, not for you to work for bureaucracy.
