Due to a technical fault in the computer system of the Foreign Affairs Ministry’s Consular Affairs Division, document authentication in Colombo and regional offices in Jaffna, Trincomalee, Matara, Kandy, Kurunegala will be limited until further notice, the Foreign Affairs Ministry announced.

The Ministry said at present, the Consular Division is processing only the most urgent documents while other documents will be processed once the system is repaired.
