KIZAD IZ Service Delivery VP Mohamed Ghareeb said: “The convenience of our customers has always been a top priority for KIZAD. Rolling out this new set of services means that our customers now have a broader set of services, which they can avail online from a place of their convenience and a time of their choosing.

“Through digital services, customers can make informed decisions based on real-time analytics and get up to the minute updates on their service requests. As we continue to bring more services online, the digital submission of documents also means that we are well on our way to completely paperless transactions in the future.”
