Link between NRC and NPR

♤ The National Population Register (NPR) is a list of “usual residents of the country”. A “usual resident of the country” is one who has been residing in a local area for at least the last six months or intends to stay in a particular location for the next six months. So, NPR may have foreigners as well.

♤ However, after a list of residents is created, if a nationwide NRC is needed, it could be done by verifying the citizens from that list. So, a NRC, if undertaken, would flow out of NPR.
