Residents of Ubá, Brazil, who lost their identification due to the recent floods will be able to obtain a free identity card beginning Wednesday, November 4. This initiative, implemented by the local government in collaboration with the Civil Police of Minas Gerais, aims to assist those affected by the devastating rain that resulted in seven fatalities and one person still missing. The distribution of the identity cards will occur at Camilo Soares School in the city center, providing a critical resource for those who have lost essential documents.

The identity card issuance process is set to take place in two phases, beginning on Wednesday from 1 PM, continuing on Thursday and Friday with service hours from 8 AM to 5 PM. To obtain the new card, applicants must present either a birth certificate or marriage certificate. For individuals lacking these documents, the local registry office will have staff onsite to assist in obtaining a second copy, ensuring that those in need can still apply without too much hindrance.

This initiative is specifically targeted at residents who lost their identity cards during the floods, highlighting the community's need for support during this difficult time. Additionally, it stipulates that minors under the age of 14 must have a parent or guardian accompany them to the event. As the community works together to recover from this tragedy, such support services play an essential role in restoring normalcy and helping residents rebuild their lives after such calamity.
