The Civil Registry Department [CRD] yesterday announced that it will be conducting a national mobile registration exercise of identity documents from today up to the 30th of September this year.
The mobile registration exercise will provide an opportunity for citizens to obtain national identity documents which will enable them to register as voters in the upcoming 2023 harmonized general elections.
In a statement, the CRD said, “the mobile registration exercise will be mainly focusing on the issuance of the following documents: We will give birth certificates, death certificates and national identity documents.”
This year’s mobile registration exercise comes against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had affected the issuance of civil registration documents.
