Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, H.E. Amb. Ahmed Moallim Fiqi Ahmed, received on Monday in his office at the Ministry in the capital, Mogadishu, the Minister of Interior, Federal Affairs, and Reconciliation, H.E. Ali Yusuf Ali (Hosh), and discussed with him the launch of the new civil registry service and its delivery to Somali communities abroad through embassies and consulates.
The meeting focused on the implementation of this advanced electronic service, developed in line with international standards to issue essential identification documents securely and reliably. The system is designed to serve as a trusted source for both the public and private sectors.
The Civil Status Service will provide civil status cards from the family registry, including birth and death certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, residency records, and family books, as it seeks to enhance data security and prevent forgery while also establishing a reliable national database, ensuring accessibility across all federal member states as well as through embassies and consulates worldwide.
