People living in Rotuma, Savusavu, Taveuni, Rakiraki and Levuka have a reason to be happy as they will be able to access their birth certificates in their own area before this Christmas.

Through a partnership with the Ministry of Justice and Post Fiji Limited, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed yesterday afternoon between the two parties where people will now pay $5 in 58 post shops around Fiji to get hold of their Birth Certificates.

Acting Chief Executive Seveci Tora said they have managed to finally sign the deal and have trained their staff to be ready by Christmas.
