Acting Registrar General of the Civil Identity & Registry Office, Noel Mobiha, said much of the registration has been getting rid of a backlog of data.
Mobiha was speaking at the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics: Legal Review Workshop held recently in Port Moresby.
The Civil Identity & Registry Office is expanding slowly on the NID system and learning as it goes.
Mobiha said his team still has a big task ahead, to deliver 2 million NID cards by December 31st, 2019.
