Services suspended at Registration of Persons Dept. until further notice

All services at the Department for Registration of Persons (ID Office) will be halted starting tomorrow, the 27th, until further notice. This suspension is due to a failure in the computer system, as announced by the Department of Government Information. The system broke down at the main office in Battaramulla at 1:30 p.m. As a result, the one-day service for National Identity Cards (NICs) and all other services in provincial offices are affected. The department is currently working to fix the system.
