The Public Authority for Civil Information announced the launch of a new service that allows citizens and residents to obtain building units certificates directly through the Sahel application. The feature provides an official statement detailing the registered units within a building and eliminates the previous requirement for in-person visits to PACI facilities. PACI positioned the rollout as part of its continued expansion of electronic civil services that simplify administrative processes for property owners and related stakeholders.
PACI’s announcement on its official website described the certificate as a key document for verifying building composition data used in real estate transactions and regulatory filings. Users access the service after logging into the Sahel app with their civil identification credentials, after which the system generates the certificate electronically. The authority noted that the new option builds on prior digital tools for building data management introduced throughout 2026.
Official statistics from the Sahel executive committee place the number of app users above 3 million with more than 131 million completed transactions by the end of 2025 across 491 government services. A January 2026 Cabinet presentation highlighted the addition of 59 new services during the previous year and praised the platform for reducing physical counter traffic while improving overall efficiency. The unified app, which first launched in 2021 with 123 services, has become the primary channel for a wide range of government procedures.
This building units certificate service follows closely after other PACI enhancements to the Sahel platform. The authority activated an electronic building cancellation feature in October that lets owners nullify building records and all associated units remotely. A September update permitted adjustments to specific residency article statuses, demonstrating a consistent pattern of digitizing property and residency documentation.
Property sector participants rely on such certificates for sales, leasing agreements and municipal compliance checks that require accurate unit counts and building status information. The digital delivery method reduces processing times that once stretched across multiple office visits and paper submissions. PACI has integrated the service within the existing Sahel framework that already handles related building data updates and ownership verifications.
The Public Authority for Civil Information continues to align its digital offerings with national goals for government modernization. Recent expansions have incorporated services from multiple ministries, creating seamless pathways that once required coordination across separate entities. Additional features are expected to join the platform in the coming months as PACI maintains its focus on expanding remote access to civil information.
