The costs associated with services pertaining to National Identity Cards (NICs) have been modified by the Public Security Ministry.
Public Security Minister Tiran Alles increased the charges in a special gazette notice that was published on Monday, October 23, in accordance with the rules established under Section 52 of the Registration of Persons Act No. 32 of 1968.
As a result, Rs. 1,000 is the amount charged for the issue of a certified copy of a NIC.
Furthermore, there has been a revision to the prices for the verification of authenticity of the details pertaining to a National Identity Card. As a result, online submissions submitted via the website of the Registration of Persons Department would be subject to a fee of Rs. 25. In the meanwhile, the Commissioner General will accept submissions filed in hard copy or electronically for a charge of Rs. 500.
Furthermore, the Act now charges Rs. 15,000 instead of Rs. 10,000 for the registration of a person as a photographer.
The yearly cost of renewing a certificate of registration was raised from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 3,000.
