Al-Hajjar from the Beirut Civil Registry Department: The need to speed up procedures and facilitate displaced persons’ transactions

Minister of Interior and Municipalities Ahmad Al-Hajjar toured the Beirut Civil Registry Department, accompanied by Acting Director-General of Personal Status Rodina Mreab, where he reviewed the workflow and the mechanism for processing citizens’ transactions, particularly those of Beirut residents as well as people displaced from their areas, stressing “the need to speed up procedures and improve the level of services provided.”

Minister Al-Hajjar also heard from civil registry officers from Nabatieh, Marjayoun, Tyre, Mays al-Jabal, Jouaya, Jbaa and Tebnine about the difficulties they faced while transferring records from their areas to the Directorate-General of Personal Status at the ministry in Beirut, with the aim of protecting citizens’ files and records from Israeli shelling.

The interior minister instructed Mreab and the civil registry officers on “the need to provide all facilities to displaced families to complete their transactions, and to secure everything necessary to ensure the proper functioning of work.”

He explained that “the Directorate-General of Personal Status is in the process of taking additional exceptional measures to facilitate citizens’ affairs.”

Minister Al-Hajjar also received MP Elias Hankach in his office, where they discussed general conditions and development-related matters.
