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.
