THE SPOKESMAN POINTED OUT THAT YOUTHS BORN IN 1969 HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS PHASE.

+AS THIS GROUP ARE ALL APPROACHING THE AGE OF 18 WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, IT WOULD BE MORE CONVENIENT FOR THEM, JUST TO REPLACE THEIR JUVENILE CARDS WITH ADULT 1.D. CARDS ON REACHING 18, + HE SAID.

+THIS WAY THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR 1.D. CARDS TWICE WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

+THEY WOULD, HOWEVER, HAVE TO APPLY FOR THE ADULT 1.D. CARD AT THE REGULAR REGISTRATION OF PERSONS OFFICES,+ HE ADDED.
