National Registration: Union Minister makes inspections

Union Minister for Immigration and Population U Myint Kyaing on Monday visited the Pyawbwe Township Officer’s Office. During his visit, he inspected the step-by-step operations being carried out by staff for local residents under the Lamin Project.

These included population increase/decrease processes for household lists, births, and deaths, as well as the issuance of National Registration Cards (NRCs) and the collection of Unique Identification (UID) data under the e-ID system for individuals aged 18 and over who have not yet received NRCs due to various reasons, those applying for replacements, or those with damaged/lost cards. He encouraged the staff, listened to briefings by responsible officials, and coordinated necessary requirements.

Afterward, the Union Minister inspected the systematic maintenance of personal records in the township office’s archive room. He instructed officials to closely supervise and ensure the security of personal files, properly log the issue and entry of records, and guard against pest and natural disaster damage.

He then personally handed over the same-day completed NRCs and UIDs to each applicant and presented foodstuffs for the staff. On the same day, the Union Minister visited the Yamethin Township Officer’s Office.

He inspected the step-by-step procedures being conducted in accordance with the law for local residents coming for household registry and NRCs services, the collection of biographic/biometric data under the e-ID system to issue UID numbers to NRCs holders. He encouraged the staff, received updates from officials, and coordinated necessary actions.
