Your documents

Documents the State has issued to you. ID cards, certificates, citations, registrations, appear in your documents area. This page covers what you'll find, how to use each type, and how downloads, verification, and revocation work.

Reach documents from the main navigation or directly at eportal.kaharagia.org/documents.

What's listed here

Each entry shows:

  • The document type (e.g. National ID Card, Birth Registration Certificate)
  • The reference number
  • The date of issuance
  • The current status (active, superseded, revoked)
  • The actions available (view, download, share, request a replacement)

The list normally orders the most recent first. You can filter by type or by status if you have a long list.

Viewing a document

Click a document to view it in the browser. You'll see:

  • The document content as it would appear in print
  • A QR code or reference number for verification
  • The full reference details (issuance date, issuing institution, authority)
  • A footer with the watermark and the document's official identifier

Downloading

Most documents can be downloaded as PDF for your records. Choose Download from the document view.

The downloaded file is the official electronic version of the document. It carries the same QR code and verification reference as the on-screen version. Anyone you share it with can confirm authenticity through the Verification service.

Sharing safely

When you share a document with a third party (a foreign authority, a bank, an employer):

  • Use the document itself, not screenshots, so the QR code and verification details are intact
  • Direct the recipient to verify at verify.kaharagia.org using the QR code or reference number
  • Be aware that the recipient may verify the record but cannot use the document to identify or contact you beyond what the document itself shows, that's by design

Status: active, superseded, revoked

  • Active: the document is current and verifies as valid
  • Superseded: a newer document has been issued in its place (for example, a renewed ID card replacing an older one). Verification will normally indicate that a current document exists.
  • Revoked: the document has been withdrawn by the State and no longer verifies as valid. Reasons may include loss, suspected fraud, or substantive change to the underlying record.

Replacements

If you have lost a physical document, choose Request a replacement on the relevant entry. The State will:

  • Mark the lost document as superseded (and, if needed, as revoked)
  • Issue a replacement with a new reference
  • Notify you through the inbox when the replacement is available

Replacements may incur a fee for some document types; the request flow will tell you.

Watermark and integrity

Documents issued through the ePortal carry a watermark service signature that ties the document content to its reference number and prevents undetected modification. Any tampering with the file invalidates the watermark.

If a verification of a document you have shared returns "invalid" or "tampered," confirm:

  • The recipient is using the original file, not a screenshot, photo, or scan
  • The file has not been edited (some PDF editors silently re-save)
  • Your local copy is the latest version (download a fresh copy from the ePortal if in doubt)

Privacy

Document data is processed under the ePortal Privacy Notice. Documents are part of your record and are retained according to the State's archival rules. Even if you close your account, official documents that are part of the permanent register remain on record.

Common questions

  • "Where's my ID card? I just applied." Applications take time to be reviewed and the card to be produced. Check the status of your application in Services and requests. Documents appear here once issued.
  • "Can I edit a document?" No, documents are State-issued and immutable. If a fact in a document is wrong, request a corrected document via the relevant flow (e.g. update your record, then request reissuance).
  • "My document doesn't verify." Try downloading a fresh copy. If the fresh copy still doesn't verify, contact us, there may be a technical issue or the document may have been revoked.
  • "Can I share my document with a foreign government?" Yes; whether they accept it is up to them. Direct them to the verification service for authenticity confirmation.
