- Announcing public benefit associations, which'll now come with a cool 100 dinars price tag.
- Certificate and contract authentication, setting you back between 3 to 5 dinars.
- Those 'To Whom It May Concern' certificates will now cost you 3 dinars apiece.
There's also a heap of changes coming for employees, such as hiked fees for printing CVs, ID cards, salary certificates, and employment continuity letters. expect increased charges for booking wedding halls and licensing nursery activities. The rates for approving plans to build or renovate halls offered by donors are also due for a revamp, as are the fees for using development centers under the Social Development Department [1].
