This document is a historical National Registration Card (NRC) from Myanmar (Burma). Historical Background: These cards were introduced under the Burma Residents Registration Act of 1949 and the Resident Registration Rules of 1951. They served as the primary form of identity and acknowledgement of citizenship before the introduction of the 1982 Citizenship Law. Starting in the late 1980s, the government began phasing out these cards to replace them with modern Citizenship Scrutiny Cards (CSCs) Mohammad Ayaz
