Student Status

Undergraduate

Abstract

We Got You Covered is a mobile application that is used to store a users legal governmental documents on a secure personal cloud. The idea behind WGUC, or We Got You Covered, comes from a struggle that every Egyptian has faced: finishing government paper work. It’s the struggle of waiting in long lines and collapsing when it’s actually your turn because you’ve been waiting in a small, sweaty room for the past six hours with no food, no water, and virtually no clean air to breathe.” WGUC is a platform where you login with your national ID number as a form of citizen authentication and you have access to all kinds of governmental services like renewing your drivers license, or issuing a birth certificate on your phone. The App also offers the feature of storing digital images of documents for safe keeping if the document is lost and certain information is needed. The application eases the proses of renewing governmental papers digitally with a tap of a button. Its basically Mogamaa el Tahrir in your pocket.
