The ministry is led by the Minister of the Interior, also called Interior Minister, who is appointed by the Prime Minister.

The office was established when Ebenthal became independent in 11 August 2014. Initially its native name was inspired by the Kingrom of Brazil's interior office, which was Secretaria de Estado de Negócios do Reino (Secretary of State for Business of the Kingdom), adapted to the ministerial model adopted by the Ebenthal government. Historically, the Ministry of the Interior is the most active ministry and considered one of the three most prestigious positions in the cabinet, along with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the office of Prime Minister.

The Ministry of the Interior is regarded as the most powerful and one of the most influential ministries in the government. It accumulates the largest number of administrative and supervisory functions. It oversees the vast majority of the country's agencies and law enforcement.
