Civil Information Department Launches Residence Status Amendment Service for Article 7 Bis via Sahel

The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) has launched a new electronic service via the government’s “Sahl” app, enabling individuals covered under Article 7bis (personal sponsorship) to submit requests to modify their residency status. This initiative is part of the broader effort to digitize services and facilitate online transaction processing.

The service allows eligible categories to submit residency status modification requests electronically by accessing the “Sahl” app, selecting “Individual Services” under PACI, then choosing the “Modify Status – Article 7 – Personal Sponsorship” service, and completing the required procedures.

PACI clarified that the application steps include uploading a copy of the civil ID and the required documents, followed by submitting the request electronically to complete the transaction process.

The launch of this service aligns with PACI’s strategy to enhance digital transformation and expand the range of services offered online, thereby accelerating transaction processing and simplifying procedures for beneficiaries. The authority’s official website already lists the “Modify Status (Article 7 – Personal Sponsorship)” service among its individual services.
