One example of the impact of processing times is given by the ANU-UPNG Partnership, which requires birth certificates for students from the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) to attend a summer-school program. If we face long delays getting birth certificates for our students, despite having good advice and being able to pay a priority processing fee, imagine what it is like for the rural population and people in towns other than the capital, as birth certificates are processed and issued mostly in Port Moresby.
