Identity  card office and the passport office to be shifted to new building at Battaramulla in March

The department of Registration of persons and the department of Immigration and Emigration both are dealing with the identity of persons and come under a separate secretariat ministry. These two

offices and the Intelligence services unit are to be shifted to one location to the new building with 20 stories at the Polduwa junction in Battaramulla in March this year

Initially the department of Immigration and Emigration is to be shifted and later the department of registration of persons would be shifted. Hence  thereafter the identity cards and passports would be issued at the same building.
