Issued under law
Processing your application is a function of the State, so it does not depend on a tick box.
Optional conveniences
Fetching your records from other departments, SMS alerts and scheme matching are yours to allow or refuse.
A clear record
Each choice you make is recorded with its date, and you can change it later.
Plain words
What needs your consent and what does not
A government department can process personal data without consent where the law allows it, for example to issue a certificate or deliver a benefit. We say so plainly, and ask only for what the law does not already cover.
- Issuing your certificate: under law, no consent needed.
- Fetching your records from other departments: your choice.
- SMS and WhatsApp updates: your choice.
- Checking which welfare schemes you may qualify for: your choice.

Using your income and household details to find welfare schemes you may qualify for, and sharing them with those departments if you agree.

How it works
How the permission step works
- 1
Apply on e-District Services
Fill in the form on this site.
- 2
Verify on ConsentHub
We send you to ConsentHub — a different company's site — to confirm it is you and read the notice.
- 3
Allow or refuse, purpose by purpose
ConsentHub signs the record and gives you a receipt.
- 4
Come back and continue
e-District Services carries on using only what you allowed.
Why a different site? Because consent given on a page the organisation controls proves less. On ConsentHub's own domain, the record shows that you acted.
