Clarification of Identity Documents for Public Works and Transport Services

March 19, 2026

On March 9, 2026, Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Public Works and Transport issued Inter-Ministerial Circular No. 010 to clarify the documents that Cambodian citizens can use to verify their identity when requesting public services in the public works and transport sector. The circular aims to address the practical challenges citizens encounter when trying to access services at the local administrative level and to facilitate faster and more efficient access to public services through the Single Window Service Units.

Cambodian citizens requesting services in the public works and transport sector must attach one of the following identification documents when submitting an application:

• A copy of their Cambodian national ID card certified by a competent authority
• A copy of their Cambodian national ID card signed and thumbprinted by the applicant in the presence of the service officer, together with their original national ID card for verification
• An original letter attesting to their personal identity or a letter confirming the accuracy of their personal identity data, both issued by the General Department of Identification

In addition to the identification documents listed above, applicants must continue to comply with other conditions and documentation requirements applicable to each specific public service, in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in force.
