The National Board of Crafts of the Ministry of Culture informs the artisan community registered in Panama City that, during the months of February and March, renewal will be undertaken of the card that attests to it as an artisan or Panamanian artisan.

The renovations will take place from 9: 00 a.m. to 3: 00 p.m. at the HpH Tula Building, M floor, living room 1. To gain access to the service, an appointment with phone number 501-4932 and 501-4830 is necessary.

According to the National Board of Crafts, the card has been valid for two years. Following this period, registration and demand the inclusion of new activities can be renewed as long as the necessary demonstration process is met.

The requirements for renewal include:

• To present a legible photo of the lost card (back and back).
• To include recent images of the crafts that have been worked out as a result of their activity.
• If you require the inclusion of new craft activities, complete the demonstration process.

Extemporary renewal of cards expired in 2021 will require a demonstration, similar to the process of a new registration.

The craft card, as well as being an official recognition, offers a number of benefits, including accreditation as an artisan (a) Panamanian (a), ease to participate in national and international fairs and events, access to training programs and benefits in the purchase of materials.

MiCultura reports that the dates and locations for credit in central provinces and Colón will soon be announced through its social networks.
