The Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) has said that registered residents can now collect their permanent residency cards from the Local Government or Council Development Areas where they live.

According to a statement issued by Agency, there is a need to decentralise the collection of permanent residency cards for residents who had earlier participated in the on-going residents registration exercise.

While noting that many residents from the various Local Government and Council Development Areas in the State had registered at their different locations, it emphasized that it became expedient to distribute the cards to them at their different LGAs/LCDAs so as to ease the collection process.

The statement stressed that as part of strategy put in place to ensure a hitch free collection and distribution process by the Agency, every resident will receive a short message (SMS) from LASRRA as soon as their cards are ready for collection.

To this end, the Agency charged residents whose registration telephone contact details have changed to urgently notify LASRRA through the help desk lines: 01-4483440 and 01-4483450.

The Agency, however, disclosed that it is only the Permanent Registration Cards of Civil/Public Servants that can now be collected at the LASRRA Headquarters at 4, Registration Close, Off Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja.
