According to the report, the services include the issuance of new electronic ID cards, the replacement of lost or damaged documents, as well as verification and correction of personal information.

To simplify the process, these services are facilitated through legally authorized relatives within the country, enabling expatriates to complete necessary procedures without the need to travel back to Afghanistan, the report said.

This initiative marks a significant step toward improving access to essential civil services for Afghans abroad, easing administrative burdens, and strengthening connections between citizens and national institutions regardless of their location.
