The diaspora vote in the May elections - The time to provide identification documents for citizens living abroad is halved
As Albanians living abroad will have the opportunity to vote in the general elections on May 11, the time to provide identification documents for these citizens will be halved. The confirmation comes from the administrator of the state-owned document production company IdentiTek, who also announced the possibility of applying through mobile offices in the cities where they live.
"We have developed a new technological module, which will be at the service of the citizens starting this month, which cuts the necessary time in half. So, our diaspora citizens will be able to get identification documents no longer in 30 days, but in 15 days. In addition, we have started the processes to visit the embassies and consulates with the highest flow of the diaspora to make sure that every process goes smoothly as well as to anticipate any problems we may have in the future. - explained the administrator of IdentiTek, Freskida Halilaj.
During the visit to the offices of IdentiTek, the Minister of the Interior, Ervin Hoxha, said that with the approach of the elections, all capacities must be organized, in order to facilitate the entire regime of application and production of passports and identity cards.
"One of the most important processes is the application of Albanian citizens to the consulates wherever they are, regarding the equipment with identity cards and passports. "IdentiTek is at the head of this process, which it directs through its operational groups by sending these groups to the consulates and embassies of our country for an application and for the facilitation of this regime", - emphasized the Minister.
At the same time, it was announced that measures have been taken in terms of human resources, to work at full capacity and to anticipate the influx that is expected in the upcoming electoral process. The full production capacity is 6,000 thousand passports and 15,000 thousand identity cards per day.
