Chamber partners with civil identity registry

THE Papua New Guinea Chamber of Resources and Energy (PNG Core) is partnering with the PNG Civil Identity Registry (PNGCIR) for the inaugural PNG Resources Week to promote the national identification project.
PNG Core chief operating officer Pansy Taueni-Sialis said with more than 500 participants to attend the propgramme from July 1-4 at the University of PNG, it was an opportunity to partner with the PNGCIR to drive the National Identification project.
The PNGCIR will be allocated an exhibition booth to register new registrations and follow-ups for participants.
“As the industry peak body for the resources and energy sectors, we see the importance of adding value to our event by way of collaboration with organisations driving national projects that need active stakeholder engagements,” Taueni-Sialis said.
“The NID project is important to partner with for the benefit of our participants and for PNGCIR to progress with new registrations – especially for our landowners, many of whom will be arriving from remote parts of the country.
“This is our way of adding value to their participation at PNG Resources Week.”
PNGCIR registrar-general Noel Mobiha said the PNG NID project team would facilitate new registrations and follow-ups.
“The PNG NID team will be there to collect applications for new registrations and conduct follow-ups on pending applications for birth certificates and NID cards,” he said.
“Those with pending applications will be able to get an update on the status of their birth certificates and NID cards at the booth.”
