Communicate in a clear and transparent manner
Here are some tips for writing content that's clear and transparent to citizens:
One sentence, one concept
Avoid overloading your content, but give it the opportunity to delve deeper. A sentence should express a single concept. Writing this way makes texts easier to understand and follows a clear, logical flow.

Subject, verb, complement
Always follow the subject, verb, and complement structure. Avoid subordinate clauses and parentheses.
Use the pyramid rule
When you need to structure complex content, include the essential information first. Then go into greater detail.
Use adjectives and adverbs sparingly
Adjectives and adverbs lengthen sentences: use them only if they truly add value.
Use affirmations, not negations
Where possible, transform negative sentences into positive ones: negations can often be confusing.

Always state acronyms explicitly
If you use acronyms, always state them in parentheses. For example, "CIE (Electronic Identity Card) or SUE (Single Desk for Construction).
