U San Shwe, Deputy Director of Kayin State immigration and population department told KIC on May 25 that the state government is providing a field service to issue national identity (ID) card and household documents to its population in the seven townships, in accordance with the government's 100-day plan for the community.
"It's the about the government's 100-day plan. Our department is working together with NCR groups to issue ID cards and household documents to the villagers based on the population and household information provided to us by village tract administrators. We conduct blood test, fill out information and issue documents, all done within one day time" U San Shwe said.
The services provided include the issuance of ID card for 10-year olds and 18-year olds, birth and death household document update, and temporary household registration document for those who moved out, according to the state immigration and population department.
Ko Naing Tun, from Kawlamu village of Hpa-an township told KIC, "The authority came to make ID card for the villagers. The people are required to fill in forms and charts. I heard that they did it within one day so I came and it's really efficient. Making ID card was not that easy in the past. Now they came to the village to do it for the people."
The exercise is carried out in accordance with 100-day plan in all localities. Those who want to obtain the ID card only need to contact their village administrators. Having the ID card and household registration makes it easier to travel or do business, said Daw Nyo Nyo Tun who is the deputy head of immigration.
Based on the lists submitted to the immigration by village administrators from townships in Kayin, including villages from west of the Salween, the immigration will send out their staff to the field to provide services free of charge.
This exercise is free of charge and will be conducted from 1 May to 30 July, according to the immigration head.
