Services at Consular Affairs Division at MFA limited

Due to a breakdown of the Electronic Document Attestation System (e-DAS) in the Consular Affairs Division of the Foreign Ministry, attestation services during the past week were disrupted resulting in long delays in providing services, Foreign Ministry said.

In addition, the Branch Attestation System at the Regional Consular Offices and Sri Lanka Missions overseas are also affected. The Foreign Ministry said it regretted the inconvenience caused to the public in this regard.

 A Technical team of the Ministry is working to rectify these issues. Hence, the Consular Affairs Division would be able to provide services for only 150 walk-in customers daily under these circumstances from next Monday (22.11.2021).

 Normal services for certificates /documents attestation could be provided once these issues are rectified. Updates will be notified to the public as soon as the system maintenance is completed.

Those who want to obtain services from the Division can contact the Consular Affairs Division via 011- 2338812 or dgcons@mfa.gov.lk for information.
