The number of delivery vehicles has also been increased and with it the operational capacity as it was in the past, after workforce was reduced to 50% in light of the decrease in the issuance of new cards during the last period.

The sources stated PACI has recently activated an automated response system to inquiries of the ‘My Identity’ application, whose subscribers have exceeded 2.1 million citizens and residents, who have downloaded it through the “Android and IOS” systems, in addition to the problem-solving and maintenance service of the application around-the-clock. Regarding the IDs of children below 5 years old, for citizens and residents, who are not issued an electronic card through ‘My ID’ and which are still being issued by the authority’s devices the sources confirmed the availability of a special service for them through the authority’s production department. The sources stated that if a citizen or resident needs to expedite the issuance of the card for his child, he can visit the authority without a prior appointment and hand over the civil number of the card, and it will be issued quickly in order to serve him before traveling.
