Copies of birth, marriage and death certificates for expatriate Sri Lankans from relevant embassies
The pilot project will be implemented through the embassies of Kuwait, Japan, Qatar, Melbourne, Australia, Toronto, Canada, Milan, Italy and Consulate Generals in Dubai.
For the convenience of Sri Lankans abroad, the government has planned to issue copies of birth, marriage and death certificates from Sri Lankan embassies in foreign countries.
This program is going to be implemented through 07 selected foreign embassies and consulate general offices as a pilot project.
Accordingly, it is expected to implement this pilot project through the embassies of Kuwait, Japan and Qatar, Australia’s Melbourne, Canada’s Toronto, Italy’s Milan, and Dubai’s consulates.
e-BMD data maintained jointly by the Registrar General’s Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that birth, marriage and death certificates can be issued through foreign embassies in accordance with the system set up to obtain birth, marriage and death certificates from any regional secretariat in Sri Lanka. Efforts have been made to improve the system.
Accordingly, in the initial phase, the e-BMD data system will only issue the nearly 45 million birth, marriage and death certificates currently scanned and stored.
These certificates are certificates registered after 01.01.1960 and if a certificate scanned at the initial stage of the data system has been revised later, such certificates may have a slight delay in updating in the data system in some cases.
