Background
The National Police of Cambodia coordinates provincial directorates and municipal police stations to provide on-site registration and issuance of Khmer national identity cards at commune and sangkat locations. The police operation includes collection of application forms and biometric photographs by specialized officers and administrative posts.
Following directives from national leadership and direct supervision by the provincial police command, Kaeb Provincial Police continued mobile identity issuance activities on 11 July 2026 in Sangkat Ork Krasar, Kaeb City. Residents whose Khmer national identity cards have expired or whose cards have less than 180 days of remaining validity are invited to complete renewal forms at no charge.
Key Developments
On 11 July 2026 Kaeb Provincial Police led coordinated teams from the provincial criminal investigation unit, municipal police, and the Samy administration post to receive applications and photograph citizens for issuance of Khmer national identity cards. The field activity was described by the provincial police as a continuation of an identity-documentation plan driven by higher-level recommendations and local leadership.
Institutional Role
The National Police functions as an operational arm for national identity registration when provincial directorates conduct mobile outreach in coordination with municipal administrative posts. Police-managed mobile units perform discrete tasks in the identity issuance workflow, including application intake, identity photography, and transmission of enrolment data to central civil-registration authorities.
Operational Implications
Mobile issuance events reduce travel and administrative burdens for residents by bringing registration services to commune-level locations, and the Kaeb activity explicitly offered free renewals for cards that are expired or within the 180‑day threshold. Citizens seeking to renew or replace a Khmer national identity card should approach designated police or administration posts during scheduled outreach activities and present required personal documents as instructed by local authorities.
