WILLEMSTAD - The Prekario Team has officially announced the closure of the 2026 Prekario registration period, expressing satisfaction with how the process unfolded. For the first time, registration was conducted fully digitally, a change that authorities say worked successfully.
In total, 1,132 registrations were processed, of which 827 were submitted online and 405 in person.
Prekario is a permit system that allows individuals to temporarily use public land—such as sidewalks, parking areas, or government-owned plots—for private purposes, including small commercial activities, kiosks, or other authorized uses. The permit does not grant ownership rights but provides conditional, time-bound permission under government regulations.
During the registration process, the team also handled 20 applications from individuals who were not registered in the Civil Registry (Kranshi), as well as one parcel that had been registered under the name of a deceased person. In that case, the family was informed and the parcel was returned to the Prekario system.
Additionally, three transactions were refunded after applicants paid their deposits before their registrations had been officially verified.
The Prekario Team also reviewed appeals from individuals who lost their Prekario permits in 2025 and resolved 161 cases involving parcels that were either incorrectly assigned or carried duplicate numbers.
Due to several technical and administrative adjustments, all parcels have been renumbered for the 2026 permit year. Permit holders who have already received their 2026 Prekario approval are therefore urged to take note of the new parcel number assigned to them.
For new applicants interested in obtaining a Prekario parcel, the waiting list will open on December 22, 2025, and close on January 2, 2026. Registration can be completed via the official link at www.vvrp.cw/prekario, managed by the VVRP.
The Prekario Team thanked all applicants for their patience and constructive feedback, noting that this input encourages continued improvements to service delivery in the future. The team also extended its best wishes to the people of Curaçao for a happy holiday season and a positive New Year.
