WILLEMSTAD – The Department of Civil Registry (Kranshi), part of the Ministry of General Affairs, Planning and Public Service, has announced additional afternoon opening hours on Tuesday December 9, Wednesday December 10, and Thursday December 11, 2025. These extra hours are exclusively intended for individuals who have received a residence permit through the “Tuma bo Pèrmit” project and still need to register.
“Tuma bo Pèrmit” is a new initiative of the Curaçao Admission Organization (Immigration). In connection with this project, Kranshi will be open on the above-mentioned days from 3:30 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. During these extra afternoon hours, no appointment is required for registration.
The additional opening hours are intended to prevent overcrowding during Kranshi’s regular operating hours.
Individuals who need to register are required to present a valid passport, a residence permit stamp issued by the Curaçao Admission Organization in the passport, a printed decision letter for the residence permit, an original birth certificate that has been apostilled or legalized and is no older than one year, and a correct residential address in Curaçao including street name and house number.
Applicants must also provide proof of residence, which can consist of a valid and signed rental contract, authorization from the main tenant along with a copy of that person’s valid identification, a deed of purchase, a building permit, or an ROP form for address change if applicable. In addition, proof of deregistration is required if the country of departure is within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and this document may not be older than one year.
Kranshi advises applicants to ensure they bring all required documents to avoid delays in the registration process.
