The Ministry of the Interior has drafted and submitted for public consultation a draft law, which brings changes in the civil status, with a focus on immigrants, who have a regular residence permit abroad or have foreign citizenship, adding online services as well as giving them the possibility to update the changes in their civil status.

Specifically, in Article 4, the draft law foresees the obligation of Albanian citizens to declare the address of every apartment they own inside or outside the country, within 6 months from the entry into force of the law, choosing among them their place of residence.

At the same time, the draft stipulates that the civil status service will be offered to citizens after they comply with the above obligation, providing as a condition the obligation to declare the address of each residence they own according to the law on addresses. The draft law provides that the initial registration of residence according to Article 14 is done in the civil status office of the administrative unit that has territorial jurisdiction over the residence declared as residence, simultaneously determining that the citizen cannot declare more than one residence.

According to the wording in point 2 of this article, the change of residence that has the territorial jurisdiction of the new residence is foreseen, no later than 30 days from the arrival in this residence, determining that the same deadline applies to the declaration of residence. Point 3 stipulates that one or more families have the right to live in the residence of another family, only when the standards of living area per capita are met.

Point 4 foresees the concrete actions that must be carried out by the civil status office after the declaration of residence or its change after the submission by the citizen of the documents provided by the legislation in force that gives the citizen the right to use the apartment.

In point 5, an estimated administrative control link necessary for the progress of this process is provided, which specifically refers to the actions that must be carried out by the community structures of the administrative unit in the territorial jurisdiction of which the place of residence is in relation to meeting the standards of living space per capita and at the same time the authenticity of the declarations of the citizens regarding their place of residence. According to the draft, this process, provided for better control, serves to solve the problems identified for the issues of citizens' addresses, which in certain cases may turn out to be untrue, not reflecting the real connection of the individual with the territory where public services are offered, which subsequently notify the civil status office if non-fulfillment of standards and false declaration are found.

The draft defines that the basic documents that the civil status service draws up, maintains and administers, specifically the birth certificate, the marriage certificate, the death certificate, the decisions of the national commission for changing the name/surname, the decisions for correction as a material error of to the general director, the procedures for family reunification and separation and the National Register of Civil Status, which will be available online.
