Speaking to the Jordan News Agency (Petra) on Monday, Al-Tayyib explained that the service enables citizens to issue digital certificates for previously recorded vital events such as birth, marriage, divorce, death, as well as individual and family status records. The certificates are issued in PDF format and available in both Arabic and English.
He emphasized that obtaining a certificate is done through the Sanad app by selecting the Civil Status and Passports Department services, followed by the digital certificates service. The issued certificates include a QR code allowing concerned parties to verify their authenticity immediately.
Al-Tayyib noted that the launch of this service aligns with the Kingdom’s digital transformation efforts and aims to ease access for citizens, whether within Jordan or abroad. The service is available anytime and from anywhere, including Fridays and official holidays, thus reducing pressure on Jordanian embassies and minimizing congestion within the department.
He added that the digital certificates are free of additional charges, are recognized by all public and private entities, and represent a major step forward in the government’s strategy to enhance and streamline its services.
