Head of the Civil Registry Department Leona Romeo-Marlin says her office has started community outreach information sessions in order to bring the department closer to the people by expanding on what services it provides and what are the requirements of residents.
The Civil Registry Department is working in collaboration with Community Councils. The first information session was held on March 10 in Cape Bay. It was organized in collaboration with the Cape Bay Community Council and catered to the residents of the area.
Cape Bay residents were very pleased to have gotten the opportunity to obtain information about the processes and services of the department. They were also able to get clarification on personal and general matters that would facilitate their visit and services rendered once they make use of the Civil Registry Department on Pond Island.
The next information session is planned for the month of April and these engagements with the community will continue throughout the remainder of the year.
Management at the department are adamant in ensuring that the Sint Maarten community is well informed before visiting the department to utilize one of the many services that it provides.
The meeting was supported by Department Head Leona Romeo-Marlin, Kathy Snijders, Section Head, Denise Williams-Warner, Section Head in training along with six staff members.
