In response to questions from Al Mamlaka regarding electronic airport gates and whether users can access details of their entry and exit stamps, including the dates, the ministry said this information will soon be made available through the Sanad app.
Asked whether the service would include records from previous trips, the ministry clarified that it would cover all entry and exit movements.
The ministry had previously announced, in cooperation with telecommunications companies in Jordan, that the Sanad application would be accessible without consuming users’ mobile internet data packages. The initiative aims to make it easier for citizens to access and benefit from digital government services.
Electronic gates (e-Gates) are available to Jordanians at Queen Alia International Airport and Amman Civil Airport. Applications to use the smart gates are submitted through the Sanad app after users register and activate their digital identities.
On October 7, Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Sami Smeirat announced the launch of electronic departure gates at Amman Civil Airport, expanding on the pilot experience introduced at Queen Alia International Airport. The initiative aims to simplify travel procedures and speed up passenger processing.
On October 21, Jordan Airports Company CEO Ahmad Al-Azzam told Al Mamlaka that approximately 20% to 25% of Jordanian citizens departing through Amman Civil Airport had used the electronic gates since their launch.
At the time, Al-Azzam explained that the airport had two electronic gates for departing Jordanian passengers, with three additional gates for arriving passengers expected to become available once expansion works are completed.
Regarding digital identity services, Smeirat had previously reaffirmed the government’s commitment to digitizing all government services that can be automated. The target covers approximately 2,400 services by the end of this year. He added that around 90% of these services had been digitized as of October 10.
