Diaspora Albanians will be able to obtain identification documents within 15 days.
The halving of the time from 30 to 15 days was announced by the Administrator of the state document production company IdentiTek, during a visit that the Minister of the Interior, Ervin Hoxha, made to the company's premises.
"IdentiTek has taken two very important initiatives in this regard, the first is to halve the time it will take us to produce these identification documents. We have developed a new technological module, which will be at the service of citizens starting from this month, which cuts the necessary time in half. So, our citizens of the diaspora will be able to receive identification documents no longer for 30 days, but for 15 days", explained the administrator of IdentiTek, Freskida Halilaj.
The second innovation is the provision of opportunities for application through mobile offices in the cities where they live.
As the May elections approach, Minister Hoxha said that all capacities must be organized to facilitate the entire regime of application and production of passports and identity cards.
"In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs we will plan the movements, the 'Mobile Applications' as we call them; so we send a dedicated group from IdentiTek from the head office, we send them to these specific countries on specific dates and our citizens abroad can have the possibility to apply beyond embassies and consulates", informed Halilaj - the minister.
The administrator of the state document production company IdentiTek stated that the full production capacity is 6,000 thousand passports and 15,000 thousand identity cards per day. (A2 Televizion)
