Common questions

About the directory

Is this an official government website?

No. This directory is an independent reference resource published by MBCS. Each card links to a website operated by, or officially used for, the listed institution.

Does this include every local office and provincial department?

The directory focuses on national-level ministries and major public entities with a verified public website. Afghanistan’s public directories change and do not consistently publish a standalone website for every commission, province, municipality, directorate, court, university, or local office.

How should I use the information?

Use the directory as a convenient starting point. For deadlines, fees, legal requirements, and official decisions, confirm the latest information directly with the relevant institution or obtain professional advice.
