"My wife is not Afghan", civil registry gaffe changes woman's

The case published this Thursday, June 4, on the show "Stop" is related to an administrative error at the Civil Status Office of the village of Ruzhdie, which has caused numerous problems for the Kamberaj family.

Saimir Kamberaj, who lives and works in Greece, denounces a serious inaccuracy in the documentation of his wife, Dorina Kamberaj.

According to the complaint, in 2017 and 2019, during data processing in the civil registry system, Dorina Kamberaj's citizenship was incorrectly recorded as Afghan, instead of appearing as Albanian.

This error has caused difficulties in the family's administrative procedures, especially for their son's documentation.

The journalist contacted the Civil Registry Office, which is now operating in Patos after being transferred from the village of Ruzhdie. The head of the office, Afërdita Beqiraj, admitted that it was a human error that occurred while entering the data into the system.

According to her, instead of the citizenship "Albania", "Afghanistan" was mistakenly registered, creating inaccuracies in the civil status certificates.

"We will verify the fundamental registry, to verify real citizenship once again," said Beqiraj.

After the necessary verifications and procedures, Afërdita Beqiraj applied for data correction to the competent institutions in Fier.

With the intervention of the "Stop" show and the cooperation between the Civil Status Office in Patos, the problem was resolved within a short time.

In the end, the Kamberaj family was provided with a corrected certificate, where Dorina Kamberaj's citizenship appears as Albanian.

Citizen Saimir Kamberaj:

-Hello! I'm Saimir Kamberaj from Fier. I'm in Greece, I have a problem, I need to get a marriage certificate. I've been applying for it for 4 months and no one has responded to me, because the old certificate says Afghan citizenship.

-My daughter-in-law, Dorina.

-Dorina Kamberaj.

-In Patos.

-I don't know that!

-Eh, I don't know. It's just a joke.

-I would like that too, but I don't know.

-The certificate was issued in Ruzhdie. Now it has left Ruzhdie, it no longer exists.

-I got the passport, but yesterday I got Dorina's personal and family certificate. That family member, why does she call me "Albania". I don't know! I would come myself, but I have to have an operation these days and I would come myself. I don't know now, if you do anything, if you don't, you will have me next month, you have me there!

-I had that conversation. (laughs)

-I don't even know where it falls from, he says.

-No, no, I don't believe it! I don't believe it, because we have been here in Greece for 22 years.

-They wrote the certificates in 2017, which I sent them.

-Yes, it was mine! It was with me.

-What am I looking for? I want to reach out and close the boy's documents. Here they ask for my marriage certificate. I don't have it. Even today, if I get Dorina's personal certificate, it will appear in "Albania".

-It hasn't come out for 4 months.

-I made a request and there has been no response.

-No, thank you very much, but we need to get the certificate!

-Thank you very much!/ Tv klan
