JEDDAH: The Ministry of Justice has revealed that 12 women have been granted 鈥渧erification鈥� licenses, which allow them to do some of the services of notaries for the first time in the Ministry鈥檚 history.
The Ministry explained that the terms of reference granted to male and female 鈥渧erifiers鈥� include issuing and revoking mandates, and documenting the contracts of the establishment of companies, and that the verifiers should work morning and evening hours throughout the week according to an integrated electronic process.
The Ministry noted that the total number of verification licensees has reached 1,313 for male and female verifiers and confirmed that it continues to grant licenses while ensuring the quality of services provided to beneficiaries. Verified documents through this service are approved by all government departments.
The Minister of Justice, Dr. Waleed Al-Sama鈥檃ni, launched the verification service last year as part of the Ministry鈥檚 initiatives in the National Transformation 2020 Program aimed at increasing the efficiency of the verification work for individuals and companies through the involvement of the private sector in a way that expands the privatization of justice services and supports the national economy in line with the objectives of Vision 2030.
The verification service, which can be accessed through its portal (), is one of the main services of the Ministry of Justice assigned to the private sector to facilitate verification procedures for beneficiaries as well as to support the national economy and Vision 2030.
