National Registration Day

BACKGROUND OF NATIONAL REGISTRATION DAY (HPN)

The celebration of National Registration Day (HPN) began on 1st October 2013, in conjunction with the date of the issuance of the Paper Identity Card on 1st October 1948.

HPN is celebrated to recognize the role of the National Registration Department (NRD) in the registration, issuance, and maintenance of identification documents since its establishment.

The HPN celebration, held in October each year, also aims to honor the records and documents registered as identity and identification in Malaysia. Furthermore, it aims to renew commitment towards delivering quality services, serving as an appreciation for NRD staff who uphold trust, contributing time and effort to provide the best services to the people and the nation.
