MoI launches smart service for requesting to visit inmates

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) recently added a new service allowing people to submit a request to visit inmates of the Punitive and Correctional Establishments across the country via the ministry’s smart phones application (UAE MoI).

The new service enables inmates’ families wishing to visit their loved ones to obtain the service quickly and easily.

This application enables customers to access the service by following a set of steps, such as logging in information related to the inmate, following up on the request, ask to receive the visit time and date via a text message or by following up on the approval through the application.

Brigadier Hamad Adeel Al Shamesi, Director-General of Correctional and Punitive Establishments at the Ministry of Interior, said the service aimed at organising visits for inmates is one of the most important services provided by the ministry to both citizens and residents. The ministry called upon the public to communicate with the customer service centre on 8005000.
