The Online Authentication Portal of the Consular Affairs Division for Birth, Marriage, and Death certificates was launched at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.

Taking to ‘X’, Foreign Minister Ali Sabry said that two years ago, when taking charge of the ministry, the demand for these services resulted in massive crowds and overnight queues.

He said as an initial measure to address this issue, the Foreign Ministry introduced online appointments through the eChanneling portal, significantly reducing public inconvenience. 

“Our journey began with certifying documents from the Examinations Department, a significant milestone. We then expanded to include documents from the Registrar General’s Department,” he said.

Minister Ali Sabry pointed out that currently, the ministry can complete online certification for 50-55% of documents. 

“Our commitment doesn’t end here. We are determined to achieve the capability to certify all documents online, providing an enormous benefit to the public,” he added. (Newswire)
