It's great that I received my own ID card so quickly! It sounds like the NCRA process can vary a lot. It's good to know some of us are getting our cards in a week, but others are waiting much longer. Hopefully, the NCRA can work on making the process more consistent and efficient for everyone.

The issue that is leading to a delay in the registration process is that the workers are very slow, and bias. Again, it takes longer time in the preparation of the card to be handed over. I was hoping it's a 1 week deal but sometimes 3-4weeks, it's bad. What of if their is an emergency? I think it's time these things are looked into if not, people will not still have the ID card devoid the scheduled time shown.

It’s just disorganised hope u don’t wait for too long like waiting for a vehicle life card or there is no hologram to print license.

The time for issuing the cards is taking too long I have registered for the past two weeks but still have not received my ID card. I was told to wait for a text message notification which is not forth coming if someone is in urgent need to use the card how can they facilitate quick issuance NCRA need to work on that.
