Be informed that because of fraud, forgery and other illicit acts noticed, NPUI will henceforth not seal such documents for the concerned to send. The documents will be sealed and sent directly by the NPUI at the cost of the person requesting it. NPUI doesn't have a budget for sending of mails (especially express mails). Contact the Registry for the sealing and mailing of your document/s,
