The Egyptian Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade has introduced an online service that enables citizens to add family members to their ration cards through the Digital Egypt platform. This move is part of the state's plan to expand the support umbrella and simplify procedures for citizens. The service is available to eligible citizens who can complete the process with simple electronic steps.
To use the service, citizens need to log in to the Digital Egypt platform, select the ration card services, and then choose the "Add my family members" option. They must read and agree to the conditions, enter the correct data, and submit the application. The Ministry emphasized that the service is subject to several controls to ensure that support reaches its eligible recipients.
The Ministry outlined the conditions for adding family members to ration cards. The applicant must be the cardholder and head of the family. The person to be added must not be registered on another ration card or belong to categories excluded from support. Additionally, the names of deceased individuals or non-resident family members on the same address are not allowed.
The online service is part of a broader system that includes multiple electronic services. These services include updating ration card data, issuing lost or damaged cards, inquiring about the number of individuals and remaining support, transferring cards from one governorate to another, and social separation.
The Ministry's efforts aim to facilitate procedures for citizens and reduce the need to visit ration card offices. By providing these electronic services, the Ministry seeks to improve the efficiency and transparency of ration card management. Eligible citizens can now access these services from the comfort of their homes.
According to the Ministry, the online service is designed to streamline the process of adding family members to ration cards. This move is expected to benefit many citizens who previously had to visit ration card offices, which could be time-consuming and inconvenient. The Ministry continues to work on enhancing its electronic services to better serve the public.
The introduction of this online service reflects the Egyptian government's commitment to digital transformation and improving public services. By leveraging technology, the government aims to provide more efficient and accessible services to its citizens. The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade will continue to provide updates and guidance on the use of this service and other electronic services.
