The Antigua and Barbuda Civil Registry has announced temporary changes to its operating hours this week to accommodate security lockdown exercises being conducted ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).

According to a public notice dated July 7, the registry will operate from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon on Wednesday, July 8. Members of the public will be required to access the facility through the back gate on St. Mary’s Street before noon, entering through the main entrance as usual.

The notice also advises that the Civil Registry will be closed on Friday, July 10 , and will reopen at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, July 13.
