The government’s mass registration outreach programme, aimed at providing national documents to residents across the country, is nearing its conclusion.
Over 94 317 individuals have already benefited from this initiative, which started on 5 February and will conclude on 31 July.
The program provides a variety of services, including birth certificates, identity documents, duplicates, and citizenship applications, which target all 121 constituencies.

She said that this inclusive approach guarantees the accounting of even undocumented and stateless individuals residing in Namibia.
