The Consular Affairs Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism has announced the temporary suspension of all document attestation services until further notice following an unexpected technical failure in the Electronic Document Attestation System (e-DAS).
The suspension affects services at the Consular Affairs Division headquarters in Battaramulla and all Regional Consular Offices located in Jaffna, Trincomalee, Kandy, Matara and Kurunegala.
The ministry said immediate measures have been initiated in coordination with relevant technical service providers and other stakeholders to restore the e-DAS system and resume normal services as soon as possible.
Applicants who have already obtained online appointments have been advised to monitor the e-Channeling appointment system for further updates and notifications.
The Consular Affairs Division said affected applicants will be informed once the system is restored and expressed regret over the inconvenience caused to the public. (NewsWire)
