Due to a disruption in the Lanka Government Cloud (LGC), several online services managed by various government organizations have been temporarily affected, an Information Technology communication agency said in a media release issued on Monday.
These include the Birth, Marriage and Death (BMD) Certificate System of the Registrar General’s Department, the e-Revenue License System (eRL 2.0) of the Provincial Departments of Motor Traffic (except the Western Province), the Police Clearance System of the Department of Police, Country of Origin Certificate Issuance Online System of Department of Commerce and some of the websites including those of the Department of Meteorology, Registrar of Companies, and Sri Lanka Accounting and Auditing Standards Board.
Engineers from the Information Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) and the service provider are actively working to restore the cloud services as quickly as possible, the statement said noting that in the meantime, the Registrar General’s Department has announced that certificate copies could be obtained manually from the Divisional Secretariat that issued the original certificate. "All stakeholder organisations including Department of Police have been duly notified of the progress of rectification.”
While restoration of LGC services are being given the highest priority, existing capacity and operational constraints are expected to be released through the ongoing execution of the next phase of LGC expansion which commenced in October 2025.
ICTA said it regrets the inconvenience caused to the public and to institutions hosted on the LGC, and reiterates that all efforts are being extended to restore online services to their full capacity as soon as feasible.
