The department of Nationality, Passport and Immigration has started registering foreigners residing in the state, says Director Gabriel Lueth Bukjock.
Lueth says authorities at the national level instructed the department to verify the number of foreigners in the area.
The main objective of the registration exercise is to identify and create free movement of foreigners across the country.
He appeals to the foreigners living in the state to go and get their documents since the registration fee is reduced from 36,000 SSP to 20,000 Pounds.
The official made the remarks during an exclusive interview with Don Bosco Radio in Tonj.
