PACI announces launching smart system for Civil ID-card renewal
The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) announced Sunday the
launching of a smart system for renewing ID-cards at a cost of KD 35,000. PACI'
s Director General Abdulrahman Al-Shayji said in a press conference that by
dialing 889988 and entering the ID number, both nationals and expatriates can
renew their ID-cards both inside and outside the country in a totally paperless
procedure.
With this system, one no longer needs submit a renewal envelope, passport copy,
sponsor's declaration, residence permit copy and photos as the system accesses
the database of the Ministry of Interior to update residence and sponsorship
information in less than 15 seconds, he said.
Al-Shayji noted, however, that this service does not cover change of address or
photo, lost or damaged ID-cards and first time registration, adding that the
renewed ID-card will be ready within 24 hours of calling the service which can
be used between 2:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
PACI s smart system, which can accommodate 3,500 to 4,000 calls daily, is one
of the e-government projects.
