En la actualidad la Oficina está implementando un Nuevo sistema, en el cual se estimula a la no utilización de papel “CERO PAPEL”, con el fin de favorecer al medio ambiente. Son pocas las solicitudes que se reciben en medio físico, sin embargo, dichas solicitudes también son digitalizadas. Por lo tanto, todas las solicitudes que ingresan a la Oficina se encuentran en medio digital para ser reproducibles y legibles.
