Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The Director General of the National Civil Registration Authority (NCRA) Mr. Mohamed Massaquoi has called on citizens to go for their National Identification Card as it is mandatory.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Card, according to NCRA entails every citizen\u2019s National Identification Number (NIN) which makes it vital for all citizens to have theirs. The National ID Card will enable citizens to access social services and help the government plan well.<\/p>\n

The deadline for all citizens to obtain National Identification Cards is fast approaching, the National Civil Registration Authority (NCRA) in Sierra Leone earlier issued a notice urging all citizens to comply with the Cabinet Directive ratified by Parliament in March 2022. The directive requires individuals to obtain ID cards, whether National, Non-National, or ECOWAS, to access a range of services including financial transactions, vehicle registration, recruitment into institutions, NASSIT enrollment, and more.<\/p>\n

Failure to comply with this directive by the deadline of March 31st, 2024 could result in individuals being unable to access essential services, including healthcare, education, movement from one area to another and employment opportunities.<\/p>\n
