Those
who still hold temporary identity certificates issued under the provisions of
the 1982 Myanmar Citizenship Law are required to surrender their temporary
certificates as they expired on May 31 2015, according to notification 19/2015
dated February 11, 2015 issued by the President.
Out
of the 759,672 temporary certificates disbursed, only 469,183 have been
surrendered. According to a news release by the State Counsellor’s Information
Committee, the people who failed to surrender the temporary certificates
include those who received other kinds of identity cards, those who lost their
cards, those whose cards were ruined, those who died and those who failed to
surrender the documents because they lived outside the region, according to
State Counsellor’s Office Information Committee.
With
effect from June 1, 2015, instead of those temporary certificates, the
distribution of an Identity Card for National Verification was carried out in
three categories. The main objective of distributing those cards was to
scrutinize them as to whether they were entitled to become a citizen in accord
with the provisions of the 1982 Myanmar Citizenship Law, and to acknowledge
them as residents in Myanmar.
The
three categories are mapping, posting buildings on the map and checking of
number of people. As of December 23, 2016 out of 469,183 who surrendered the
temporary certificates, 32,016 were given the Identity Card for National
Verification.
Out
of 397,497 who surrendered the temporary certificates in Rakhine State only,
6077 were given an ICNV, it was described in the information released.
