The National Center for Information Technology (NCIT) is looking ahead for an official roll-out of a new and upgraded version of the eFaas application.
The online application provides easy accessibility to customers to acquire services from government agencies. NCIT has reported a June roll-out of the newer version.
State’s top priority with the application is to bolster the safety of the users’ personal information. NCIT further said that the most prominent service the new application will cater to the users is the digital identity card.
Meanwhile, the Minister of State for the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Technology Mohamed Shareef said that the government is currently attempting to launch digital identity card services in either May or June.
The new features of the e-pass application will allow faster login access to users. According to the ministry, users will not be required to use one-time passwords (OTPs) each time when they log in. Despite the elimination of OTPs, users can safely share information with relevant parties, the ministry added.
Moreover, the ministry reported that the newer features will be tested before deploying the application officially. A total of 700 beta-phase users will be able to try out the new features some time during April, the ministry added.
So far, more than 137,000 users have been registered with the application while the portal caters more than 440 services from various government agencies.
