Civil Registry Office Brings Document Services to Earthquake Victims in Nagekeo

In the aftermath of a recent earthquake, the Civil Registry and Population Control Office (Dukcapil) has launched a "jemput bola" (literally "pick up the ball") initiative in Nagekeo. This program brings essential administrative services directly to those displaced by the disaster.

Officials have set up service points at refugee posts established for earthquake victims. The primary goal is to assist residents who lost crucial personal documents, such as identity cards, family cards, and birth certificates, during the seismic event. Losing these documents can create significant hurdles for accessing aid and rebuilding lives.

The Dukcapil team is actively working to help affected individuals replace their lost paperwork. This proactive approach ensures that residents can obtain the necessary documentation without having to travel or navigate complex bureaucratic processes while dealing with the immediate challenges of displacement and recovery. The service aims to restore a sense of normalcy and facilitate access to essential support systems.
