Al-Faraya noted that the
Ministry of Interior and its divisions, such as the CSPD, are working to finish the public sector development plan and the e-government program in accordance with the findings of the Political Modernization System and the Economic Modernization Vision, which were introduced as the Kingdom entered its second century.
Al-Faraya praised the department's level of development and the administrative and technical aspects of the work environment's improvement, while explaining the significance of taking all necessary steps to improve work and facilitate matters for citizens in accordance with the laws and regulations in force.
Al-Tayeb, for his part, reviewed the department's administrative, legal, and historical evolution. He pointed out that the department serves Jordanian citizens both inside and outside the Kingdom through (96) Civil Status and Passports offices and (56), Jordanian embassies and consulates abroad.
Al-Tayeb affirmed that citizens will be able to obtain digital copies of existing civil status certificates (marriage, divorce, birth, and death) as well as family and individual registration in Arabic and English through the Sand application. Additionally, these certificates will have a QR code to confirm their authenticity.
According to Al-Tayeb, the department finished 3,337,747 transactions in the last year and archived almost 1.5 million of its files as part of the historical electronic archiving project.
