Hi. Just to update you. Exactly one week after I applied for my ID, I received a text message advising me that my ID card was ready and that I would need to bring my collection slip and, if I had one, my old ID card. I went on a Thursday morning, ... Read More

Hello. Here's a little update. As instructed by the PMO, I went to the National Identity Centre in Port Louis (it was around 10.15am) and on arrival I explained to the person standing at the doors that I was told to come there by the PMO to apply ... Read More

I managed to get to the PMO yesterday. I couldn't make it very early but got there around 11.15am. The people in the waiting room weren't all there for the citizenship office so it was hard to guess if I was going to be waiting for a while. ... Read More

@dvanbI only had to go through PMO because I wasn't born in Mauritius. Even though I already have the old laminated version of the ID card, it didn't matter. The new biometric ID cards will have a digital paper trail attached to it showing how you ... Read More

@Pablo888Well, I managed to get to the PMO today. Didn't get there as early as I had hoped but it didn't matter, as when I arrived there around 11.30am, I only waited a out 5 mins before being seen. I showed them the documents I had to prove my ... Read More

@Pablo888Correct. The old laminate ID card does not have a paper trail of how you got the ID card in the first place, i.e., in my case, the MNIC office cannot deal with looking through old ID applications from years ago when I did mine and the docs ... Read More

@dvanbNo, if you were born in Mauritius, you don't have to go via the PMO at all. I was born abroad but grew up in Mauritius, so I am considered as Mauritian by descent. You should be fine going direct to any Mauritius National Identity Card ... Read More

@markexpat1 I landed in Mauritius this morning and went straight to the MNIC in Rose Hill. After half a day of queueing, I was told that I needed to got via the PMO in Port Louis. Just because I have an old laminated ID card doesn't mean I can just ... Read More

Hi. No I have not been yet. I'm going towards the end of March. I've been told that as I'm only renewing my identity card from the old laminated one to the new electronic digitalised version, I shouldn't have to prove my rights to citizenship. I ... Read More

@Pablo888 Thank you. I agree it's a good thing to renew and update the NIC and can understand why it has to be made in person. I'm sure one day, with the improvement of technology and with the fact that more and more Mauritians live abroad, ... Read More

@Pablo888 this is amazingly helpful. Thank you so much! At least I won't need to go through the PMO. It's a real shame these renewals of NIC can only be made in Mauritius itself and not at the embassies around the world, like you can with passports. ... Read More

HelloI grew up in Mauritius but was not born there. Both my parents are Mauritian (my father having now passed away) and when I was younger, I got my Mauritian ID card. I now longer live in Mauritius. I see that my old laminated ID card is no longer ... Read More
