Consular Application Management System (CAMS)

A dedicated digital platform for issuing, recording and managing every certificate and application form processed by the Consulate — replacing manual, paper-based intake with a secure, bilingual, auditable system.

Overview

Consular certificates — travel documents, marriage and birth certificates, relationship and celibacy deeds, Tazkira applications and more — are still processed on paper at most missions. This slows down applicants, makes duplicate or fraudulent filings harder to catch, and leaves no searchable record once a certificate leaves the counter.

CAMS gives the Consulate a single system to receive applications, generate print-ready certificates in the Consulate's own format, keep a permanent digital record of everything issued, and report on activity at any time — in Dari, Pashto and English.

Already built — working MVP
  • Six certificate workflows live and functional: Travel Document, Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate Request, Celibacy Deed, Relationship Certificate, and Absentee Tazkira Form
  • Bilingual staff interface (Dari & Pashto), with secure staff login and role-based access
  • Print-ready, serial-numbered certificate output, matching official layouts
  • Centralized applicant records, searchable to catch duplicate or repeat filings
  • Built-in reporting with PDF and Excel export of consulate records
02

Scope of Work

The scope covers every certificate and application form the Consulate issues — the six below are already implemented; any further certificate type the Consulate requires is added under the one-year maintenance plan at no extra development cost.

Travel Document
Safe-conduct / laissez-passer issuance with witness details and serial numbering
Marriage Certificate
Marriage registration form with spouse, witness and print-ready certificate
Birth Certificate Request
Newborn registration and certified birth record request
Celibacy Deed
Sworn single-status deed with witnesses, sealed and serial-tracked
Relationship Certificate
Family-relation attestation between applicant and named relatives
Absentee Tazkira Form
National ID (Tazkira) application for applicants outside Afghanistan
Any further certificate the Consulate requires
Power of attorney, no-objection letters, attestations and more — added during the maintenance year
  • Digital intake replacing paper application forms
  • Automatic reference & serial numbering per document
  • Print-ready output matching the Consulate's official layouts
  • Searchable digital archive of every application filed
  • Reporting dashboard with PDF / Excel export
  • Role-based staff accounts and activity log
  • Bilingual interface — Dari, Pashto and English
  • Accessible from any Consulate workstation, no local install

How an Application Flows Through CAMS

Every certificate follows the same automatic pipeline, from the applicant's first keystroke to the archived, printed record — no paper handoff between desks.

STEP 1
Fill Application
Applicant types their details into the form
STEP 2
Payment
Consular fee is paid and recorded
STEP 3
Sent to Department
Appears in the Certificate Department's queue
STEP 4
Review
An officer checks the submitted details
STEP 5
Approved
Application is approved for issuance
STEP 6
Printable
Certificate appears in the printable list
STEP 7
Archived
Printed certificate is stored in the digital archive

Once payment is confirmed, the application moves itself into the Certificate Department's review list — staff only review and approve; nothing has to be re-typed or carried between desks by hand.

Remaining Development — 7 Days

The six certificate workflows above are already built. The remaining seven days complete the payment-to-approval-to-archive pipeline shown above, so every application moves through CAMS automatically.

Day 1
Requirements & workflow sign-off
Confirm the exact fee structure, department roles and approval steps with Consulate staff
Day 2
Payment capture
Applicant payment is recorded and linked to each application at submission
Day 3
Certificate Department queue
Paid applications are automatically routed to the reviewing department
Day 4
Review & approval workflow
Officers approve or return applications, with every decision recorded
Day 5
Printable list & certificate formatting
Approved certificates appear in a printable queue matching official layouts
Day 6
Archiving & end-to-end testing
Printed certificates are archived automatically; the full pipeline is tested top to bottom
Day 7
Staff training & go-live
Consulate staff trained on the completed flow; remaining features go live

Further certificate types requested afterward are added during the one-year maintenance period below.

Investment

Two straightforward components: a one-time development fee, and an annual maintenance & support contract.

Phase A — Development
10,000 AED
One-time fee
  • Completion of the payment-to-archive workflow above
  • First usable version delivered within 7 days
  • Staff training session included
  • Complete source code & documentation handed over
Phase B — Maintenance & Support
15,000 AED
Per year, Year 1
  • Bug fixes and debugging as issues are reported
  • New features and certificate types added on request
  • Performance, security and UX improvements
  • Direct support channel with the development team
Development — 10,000 AED
50% on signing — 5,000 AED
50% on go-live (Day 7) — 5,000 AED
Maintenance — 15,000 AED / year
Billed at contract start — 15,000 AED
Covers 12 months from go-live
Full ownership, no lock-in. The 10,000 AED development fee is a one-time cost. On completion, the complete source code and documentation are handed over to the Consulate outright — the system belongs to the Consulate whether or not the maintenance contract is renewed.
06

Maintenance & Support — Year 1

For the duration of the one-year contract, Lemar remains responsible for keeping CAMS running smoothly and growing it with the Consulate's needs.

Included in the contract

  • Debugging and fixing reported issues
  • Adding new certificate types and features
  • Improving performance and functionality
  • UI and workflow refinements based on staff feedback
  • Security patches and routine updates

Support channel

  • Direct line to the development team by email
  • Issues logged, tracked and confirmed once resolved
  • Optional renewal at the end of Year 1 by mutual agreement
  • No obligation to renew — the system is fully owned regardless
Critical issue response ≤ 48h
Feature requests next release cycle
Contract term 12 months
07

Data Privacy & Security

CAMS holds applicants' personal and family information — names, Tazkira numbers, dates of birth, addresses. This is treated as sensitive diplomatic data throughout the build and afterward.

Access & control

  • Data remains under the Consulate's control at all times
  • Access restricted to authenticated, role-based staff accounts
  • Every issued and printed record is logged for accountability

Confidentiality

  • No applicant data is shared, sold, or used beyond this project
  • Encrypted connections between staff devices and the system
  • A confidentiality / NDA agreement is provided on request
08

Ownership & Contract Terms

One-time development fee: 10,000 AED, paid once — not a subscription.
Full source code handover: complete codebase and documentation transferred to the Consulate on completion.
Maintenance contract: 15,000 AED for 12 months of debugging, development and support, starting at go-live.
Renewal: the maintenance contract may be renewed annually thereafter by mutual agreement; renewal is optional, not automatic.
No vendor lock-in: ownership of the system is not contingent on renewing maintenance.

About Lemar

Lemar is a corporate services provider building practical, secure digital systems for institutional and government clients. CAMS reflects that approach directly — a working MVP built first, so this proposal is backed by software the Consulate can see and test today, not a concept on paper.
