The national Identity Card (IC) registration system is undergoing an upgrade, the Immigration and National Registration Department (INRD) announced on Monday.
Applications for the replacement of yellow and purple ICs have been suspended, and the resumption of services will be announced at a later date.
The authorities assured that ICs that have expired can continue to be used for relevant matters.
However, applications for new identity cards such as citizens and permanent residents who have reached the age of 12 and identity card replacements due to loss or damage are operating as usual.
Applications for new and the renewal of green identity cards are also still in operation.
The INRD can be contacted via WhatsApp at 7299550 and 7299586 (headquarters and Temburong District branch), 7299597 (Kuala Belait branch) or call 4221151 (Tutong District branch).
