Govt Suspends Special National ID Registration Exercise For Students
The government has suspended, with immediate effect, a special exercise by the Civil Registry Department to allow exam class students to acquire national identification documents this weekend.
All Registry Offices across the country were, this weekend (Saturday, 26 June and Sunday, 27 June 2021), supposed to issue national IDs to students who will be sitting for their Ordinary and Advanced Level examinations later this year.
However, in a statement this Saturday afternoon, the Ministry of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage said the exercise has been suspended due to rising COVID-19 cases. It said:

As such, ALL Civil Registry Offices countrywide will be closed tomorrow, 27 June 2021. Fellow citizens, kindly be guided accordingly. Any inconvenience caused is sincerely regretted.
