After years and numerous criticisms, the authorities are finally moving to have the records of the General Register Office (GRO) computerised.
In an ad in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Ministry of the Presidency invited expressions of interest for consultancy services for computerisation of the GRO records. According to the ad, the objective of the project is to ensure that all records for the period 1869 to 2015 are correctly input into the CERS to allow for the complete automation of the process for the generation of certificates, verification, easy retrieval and storage.
It said that interested consultants/firms can get further information from or submit expressions of interest to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of the Presidency.
Over the years, numerous persons have complained about the slow delivery of services by the GRO.
