The Ministry of Interior is dedicatedly pushing forward to finalize the biometric fingerprinting procedure for both citizens and residents within the designated timeline, as revealed by a reliable security source to Al-Rai. Assuring adequacy, the source confirmed that the existing fingerprinting centers can accommodate all individuals, negating the need for expansion.

With around 2 million citizens and residents already fingerprinted, approximately 400,000 individuals remain pending. To expedite the process, the Ministry has extended working hours at existing centers, bypassing the necessity for additional facilities. The commitment remains unwavering to adhere to the established plan, aiming to complete biometric fingerprinting for all by the end of May, as stipulated in the three-month deadline initiated in March.

In response to concerns about appointment booking services through the "Sahel" application, the source clarified that there are no technical glitches. Instead, enhancements were implemented during the Eid holiday period in collaboration with the Information Systems Department.

Regarding appointment bookings for domestic workers, the source emphasized that workers themselves must schedule appointments through either the "My ID" or "Sahel" applications, without sponsor involvement. This streamlined measure ensures efficient handling of appointments for domestic staff.
