Summary/Abstract: The online issuance of criminal certificates is a project that, in 2021, in Serbia was rated as the most promising electronic service on the eGovernment Portal, because it enables all steps to be taken electronically. Against this backdrop, this paper will primarily deal with the development and key features of electronic judicial services, with a special focus on the electronic service of issuing certificates on (non)conduct of criminal proceedings and certificates of (non)convictions. Subsequent to that, the authors examine the impact of the current national legal framework on the jurisdiction of courts on the effectiveness of the electronic service of issuing selected criminal certificates. The basic question that the paper should answer is whether the existing national legal regime of jurisdiction constitutes a limitation for further digitalisation, and what the appropriate criteria are for determining jurisdiction in situations where there is an "electronic" element.
