The PNG Civil & Identity Registry (abbreviation: PNG CIR, National Identity or NID; Email: helpdesk@pngcir.gov.pg is the identity document in use in Papua New Guinea. It is issued and compulsory for Papua New Guinea citizens and foreign citizens who are permanent residents of Papua New Guinea. Other than certain exempted persons, these people must register for an NID either upon becoming a permanent resident or, if below the age of 18, within one year of attaining that age.
Papua New Guinea Civil & Identity Registry is an office mandated to record Birth, Adoptions, Marriage, Divorce, Death and issue National Identity Card
Holders of an NID are responsible for the card's custody but are not required to carry the card on their person. Areas that will require NID to be verified include passports (immigration officers), polling stations (police officers) and those who undergo National Service in Papua New Guinea's Armed Forces, police force and civil defence force. Notwithstanding this, if no identification can be produced the police may detain suspicious individuals until such identification can be produced either in person or by proxy. It is also a requirement for all citizens in Papua New Guinea. Citizen under 18 will apply for Birth Certificate Only and Citizen Above 18 is Required for both Birth Certificate and NID card. Adoptions, Marriage Divorce, Death are mandated to record under PNG CIR. NID re-registration is required Every 10 years from the issue date..
Production of an NID is also required for any person seeking accommodation at any hotel, boarding house, hostel or similar dwelling place and for any person offering. In the case of hotels, boarding houses, etc., if a person is not in possession of, or fails to produce, an NRIC, the owner, manager or other person in charge of such business must notify the nearest police station of the fact immediately.
The NID is also sometimes a required document for certain government procedures or in commercial transactions such as the opening of a bank account. In addition, many businesses and other organisations in Papua New Guinea habitually request sight of an NID to verify identity or to allow a person entry to premises by surrendering or exchanging for an entry pass. There is no requirement to produce the NID in these situations and often, either providing any other form of identification (such as credit card, work or office pass, card with a photo on it) or simply providing an NID number (without producing the card itself) will suffice.
The National Registration Act last amendment in 2014 legislates the issuance and usage of NIDs. Section 7 indicates that all registered persons of the national registry are to be issued with the identity card.The government agency responsible for the national registry is the PNG Civil Identity registry.
