Special NIC service for GCE O/L candidates
View(s):A special service to issue National Identity Cards (NIC), solely for the benefit of this year’s GCE Ordinary Level Exam candidates, at the Dept of Registration of Persons, at Suhurupaya , Battaramulla.
Facilities were provided at the programme to obtain NICs for those who had not submitted their application forms to the Dept, for school candidates who had submitted their application forms to the Dept., but had not received their NICs yet, to take further action on NICs that had been returned to the Dept, as the candidates were not available at the postal addresses given, and to correct errors in the application forms submitted.
A fee of Rs 1,000 was charged for the 1-day service. A parent/guardian/relative of the candidate, who could establish their relationship to the candidate and certified by the Grama Niladhari, was permitted to represent the candidate. The NICs of other school candidates who have already submitted their application forms to the Dept., are now being sent via post.
