The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with SLT Mobitel will launch an e-channeling
appointment system with effect from 29 September, 2022. This will facilitate the public to receive
effective services at the Authentication Section of the Consular Affairs Division.
The e-channeling appointment system will enable the public to obtain online appointments for
authentication of documents at the Consular Affairs Division and its Regional Consular Offices in
Jaffna, Trincomalee, Kandy, Kurunegala and Matara.
The public seeking authentication services may dial 225 (Mobile subscribers) or 1225 (landline
subscribers) and via Mobitel e-channeling (www.echannelling.com) to obtain an appointment.
Appointments can also be obtained by accessing the official website of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs on www.mfa.gov.lk.
From 29 September, 2022 onwards the authentication section of the Consular Affairs Division
and its Regional Consular Offices will accept service requests only through the e-channeling
appointment system.
