Registration shall be at the SDOs until May 30, 2014. The Division Testing Coordinators (DTCs) are directed to submit the actual number of registrants to NETRC on or before June 3, 2014.
Requirements for the 2014 PEP test are the following: Form 137/138, birth certificate or baptismal certificate and two 1 x 1 ID pictures.
