Getting Your Palau ID Card: Order Now and Follow These Simple Steps

I’ve been diving into the world of digital residency lately, and I stumbled upon something interesting – the Palau Digital Residency program. I decided to give it a shot and order a Palau ID card. Here’s how it all went down.

First off, I headed over to the RNS website. That’s where you start the whole process. I clicked on the “Get Your ID Now” button, and that kicked off the application.

• Filled out the forms with all my info – name, address, the usual stuff.
• Uploaded a photo of myself, nothing fancy, just a clear headshot.

Now, the waiting game began. From what I gathered online, it takes about two weeks for the application to get approved. And then, another two to four weeks for the ID card to be made and shipped. So, I settled in and waited.

Payment Time

While I was waiting, I checked out the different versions they offered. There’s a Regular Version, good for five years. An Ultimate Version, which lasts ten years. And a Trial Version, valid for just one year. I opted for the Regular Version – seemed like the best balance for me. The cost? Around $1039 for the Regular one, $2039 for the Ultimate, and $248 for the Trial.

Waiting Game

True to what I read, it took about two weeks to hear back. Got an email saying my application was approved – yay! Then, it was just a matter of waiting for the physical card to arrive.

Finally Arrived!

About three weeks later, a package showed up at my door. Opened it up, and there it was – my brand new Palau ID card. It’s a pretty standard-looking ID, nothing too flashy. But it’s pretty cool, I know I can use this ID card to open a bank account without being physically in Palau in the future.

So, that’s my experience ordering a Palau ID card. It was a pretty straightforward process, mostly just a lot of waiting. But now that I have it, it feels pretty good. It’s like having a little piece of the digital world right in my wallet.
