The Suhurupaya building will be converted to a one-stop-shop to obtain passports, NICs and all other documents related to births, marriages and deaths, Public Security Minister Tiran Alles said. He told a news briefing that the one-stop-shop will be open for the public within two months.

Apart from that, the Registrar General's Department will so be brought to the Suhurupaya building.

After opening of this one-stop-shop, the people will be able to obtain all the above documents from the same building, the Minister said. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

We can expect the present congestion to ease ? Even a villager wanting to get a Birth Certificate, Death Certificate, or Marriage Certificate will have to come in search of Suhurupaya ?

@Jeetin: Birth Certificates can be obtained from the respectve Divisional Secretariat offices. No need to come to Colombo. I don't know about the death and marriage certificates. NICs and passports can be obtained from home through normal service.

But how to get in ? The place wil be flooded with the usual two legged animals trying to rip off innocent people. Make the entire process online and let the divisional secretariat handle the manual part.
