National ID cards for those without birth certificates



A program is now in place to issue national identity cards to people above the age of 40 who are unable to obtain a national ID card due to the absence of a birth certificate. 

A circular on the matter was issued to all Divisional Secretaries, Commissioner General of the Department for Registration of Persons Pradeep Saputhanthri said. 
 
Sri Lankan citizens above 40, who have permanent residence in a Grama Niladhari division, and are registered in the voter's register, who have not yet obtained a national ID card due to the absence of a birth certificate, will have the opportunity to apply for this.
