Algeria makes significant strides in fight against bureaucracy

State Minister, Minister of Interior and Local Authorities Tayeb Belaiz said, Wednesday in Oran, that Algeria has made significant strides in the fight against bureaucracy.
During a press conference, on the sidelines of his working visit to the province, Belaiz stressed Algeria has made important steps in the fight against bureaucracy, notably concerning the withdrawal of civil status documents.
The State, said the minister, is spending “extraordinary efforts to eradicate this phenomenon through modernizing the administration” which allowed, he underlined, to reduce the number of required civil status documents to the citizens from 36 to 11 documents.
He also recalled the digitization of civil status registers to allow citizens to withdraw various documents from any commune of the country, adding that his department will soon launch a number of projects as part of the digitization of administration and the fight against bureaucracy.
Belaiz added that following the completion of the biometric passports operation scheduled next May, six months before the deadline set by the international convention, biometric IDs will be issued.
