Interior Ministry leads path to digitalisation

AMMAN — The Ministry of Interior on Monday announced that it completed the digitalising of all its services, making it the first ministry to offer all services electronically to citizens and residents.

Interior Minister Mazen Faraiah, in a ceremony marking the conclusion of the fifth and final phase of the ministry's digitisation project, said that the total transformation to e-service platforms is a "quantum leap" in government work, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

He stressed that the completion of the project would not have been possible without the cooperation and efforts of other stakeholders, including the Ministry of Economy and Entrepreneurship and the Jordan Free and Development Zones Group.

According to Faraiah, the ministry now offers a total of 51 e-services, of which more than 500,000 service recipients benefitted, indicating that about 325,000 applications and service requests have been processed so far using these channels.
