How can I revoke my electronic signature?

The electronic signature revocation procedure is carried out at the request of the person holding the electronic signature. In case that the citizen had an electronic signature as an employee of an institution where he/she no longer works, the request can be done with a written request or with his/her government e-mail, but also with an official letter from the institution addressed to NAIS, where they also send the dismissal order of the employee.

In case the person is a private employee, he can make the request with a written request or with his personal e-mail to the helpdesk address pki@akshi.gov.al, where he also sends a photo of his identity card.

In both cases, the notification about the successful revocation of the electronic signature is sent by e-mail from the address pki@akshi.gov.al to the party that made the request.
