Electronic Appointment Booking

Electronic Appointment Booking

  • Electronic Appointment Booking Service

An electronic service provided through the Balady Platform, enabling beneficiaries to book an online appointment for visiting the municipality or municipal offices. A confirmed appointment is required before attending to complete municipal transactions. In certain cases, a municipal employee may book an appointment on behalf of the beneficiary to facilitate the process. Some transactions can be completed without requiring the beneficiary to visit in person, as the assigned employee will contact the applicant by phone to resolve the issue if possible, or confirm attendance without the need for an in-person visit to the government authority.

  • Submit a request through the available service channels.
  • Enter all required information, including service classification, date, and time.
  • Submit the request for processing by the relevant department.
  • The assigned employee contacts the beneficiary to attempt issue resolution.
  • The beneficiary confirms or cancels the appointment.
  • The service is evaluated after the appointment.
