Mozambican citizens living in the United States will from Saturday be able to renew their identity cards and passports with a visiting Mozambican Ministry of the Interior team.

Following on their successful 2015 campaign, the combined National Civil Identification Directorate (DIC) and National Migration Service (SENAMI) task force will be in the U.S. until 24 June, helping Mozambicans living their obtain identification documents.

The team will conduct operations in Washington and New York, which have considerable numbers of Mozambican expatriates.

DIC National Director Domingos Jofane told Noticias that at least 200 Mozambicans living in the U.S. will be dealt with in the first week, with an unspecified number of expired documents reissued by the end of the process.

“The indications we have are that there are a considerable number of Mozambicans waiting eagerly to obtain identity cards and passports. The team departs this Saturday and will remain there to complete the collection of data of every last citizen with documents that need renewing,” Jofane said.

The Mozambican community in the U.S. expressed satisfaction with the 2015 process, which took place as the result of a promise by President Filipe Nyusi in response to concerns expressed by the Mozambican community, members of which he met in New York on the sidelines of the UN summit.
