Algeria News Digest, June 1, 2026: Vignette, School Registration and Travel Updates

Algeria's June 1, 2026 news is led by two practical deadline extensions, followed by a new public-sector activity framework, diplomatic travel, port logistics, airline capacity and football preparations.

Vehicle vignette deadline extended to June 10

The Direction generale des impots has extended the legal deadline for acquiring the 2026 vehicle vignette to June 10, 2026. Vehicle owners can still use tax offices, post offices or the Qassimatouka online platform, where CIB and Edahabia cards are accepted.

The practical point is the new date. After June 10, the penalty warning remains relevant for drivers who have not completed the purchase.

First-year primary registration runs until June 13

The Ministry of National Education has extended registration for first-year primary pupils to June 13, 2026. The item concerns children born from January 1 to December 31, 2020, where registration has not yet been finalized.

The cited route remains the parents online space at awlyaa.education.dz. The extension gives families more time to complete the procedure; it is not an automatic admission notice.

New framework for some private remunerated activity

Journal officiel no. 38 includes Executive Decree 26-202 of May 16, 2026, covering private remunerated activity by higher-education teachers, researchers and specialist public-health practitioners.

The framework is authorization-based. It includes a five-year seniority rule with some regional derogations, one organism and one private activity, and work outside public-service hours.

Said Sayoud expected in Paris

Interior, Local Authorities and Transport Minister Said Sayoud was expected in Paris on Monday, June 1, for a working visit with French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez.

The reported agenda covered migration, security, civil protection and cooperation against organized crime. The available reports state planned talks, not a completed outcome.

Ahmed Attaf in Seoul

Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf arrived in Seoul for the Africa-Korea partnership ministerial meeting scheduled for June 1 and 2.

The meeting follows the first Africa-Korea Summit and prepares further partnership steps. No specific new Algerian agreement, funding line or project is announced in the available reports.

Said Chanegriha begins an official visit to Oman

General of the Army Said Chanegriha began an official visit to the Sultanate of Oman at the invitation of Oman's armed-forces chief of staff.

Institutions mark International Children Day

For International Children Day, ONPPE highlighted coordinated professional work around child protection, including the 1111 hotline, school protection, cyber-threat monitoring and activities launched from Tissemsilt.

Civil Protection also held a ceremony in Algiers. The common point is institutional awareness and reporting capacity.

Annaba El Mellaha clearance zone enters service

The Annaba Port Company has put the El Mellaha clearance zone into service. The customs-controlled area covers 2.4 hectares and is stated as able to receive up to 3,000 standard containers.

The platform groups control and inspection services. The confirmed points are launch, size and stated capacity, not measured decongestion or trade gains.

Air Algerie reports extra summer capacity

Air Algerie CEO Hamza Benhamouda said the airline had doubled flights between foreign and Algerian airports for the summer period and added 560 weekly flights from abroad to Algeria.

The confirmed point is capacity. The available reporting does not provide a new fare promise, seat guarantee or route-by-route list.
