Dear Mr. Kumara
I am also using a very old ID card. I twice try to get a new one but fail as I couldn't collect Form from Grama Sevaka for two Wednesdays losing my two half days. As far as I know after filling the form again I have to go to GS. this is very cumbersome. Could you pls, do something to ease the process. Another two half day leave (at least) is terrible for me.
Please do something as we also dont want to use bloody old cards. Thanks!

Life span is three score and a ten as per Bible. Please exempt persons over 70 years as they cannot bear the ordeals in receiving new 'Iding'

The ID allows him to build without approvals? Isn't that a failure of the Municipality?

This is a very good move, the government must make every 5 years ro renew their IDs.

Just collect the money and save time and paper

Technology is advanced, we have a large and lethargic public service, it's better for the concerned officials to visit homes, take necessary information and issue them with ID, without the eligible citizens wasting their time in government offices. This is real public service if they adhere.

well said. I know of a guy, a Canadian citizen who is using his SL id to buy property for re-sale and also buy n sell cars. He never paid taxes for 12 years, to make matters worse, he builds without Cic's and rent the buildings...

I remember how much of time i need to spend for new id card last year.It took almost month to have it after all the paper work.Hence unless government come up with efficient system it will be just anther scheme to grab money form general public like mooter vehicle emission testing.

Must change the time it takes to get the ID at department. Usuallly it takes a whole day at the Deprtment of Persons to get the ID for one day service.

Why not just charge the amount one in 10 years and save all the trouble of printing.
Agnnes Lilliehook Tuesday, 05 March 2013 07:13 AM
It is a good move .Those who do not have dual citizenship using the old ID to do many buisness in Sri lanka without paying tax to the country.AL
JC Tuesday, 05 March 2013 06:29 AM

"So far issued nearly 70 million NICs." What is the period of time for this much?
Also we only have less than 0 million approx. and why does it take so long to make it Electronic NICs? We know other countries with larger population have already had this several decades ago.
