Preserving an Identity – ID Cards Phase 2

Dear Gnati brothers and sisters,

Last year, we successfully introduced ID card and ticketing system for Centre events such as Navratri. We have had a very positive and supportive messages from you. 

One common and recurring feedback has been that you do not like the idea of having to apply for ID Passes on an annual basis or carry identification with you. 

We have listened to you and in accordance with your recommendations; we will be rolling out photo ID passes in time for this year’s Navratri. Furthermore, these passes will have a life time validity so you will not need to re-apply on yearly basis.

We have also simplified the application process as well. You will only need to provide us with a passport size photo for each member applying for ID Pass together with copy of identification and address proof. We will then verify these details against our records and then issue you with the requisite passes. 

(1) You can apply in person at Maher Centre either by attending the centre (dates and timings will be notified shortly). One family member may attend on behalf of other members in the household (we do not need to see each of you!); or

(2) By post – by posting copy id and address proof together with passport sized photos for each applicant (please don’t forget to write full name on back of photo);

Please do not send original documents to us in the post. This is not required and we will not be held liable for loss/misplacement.

(3) By email – simply email your scanned documents to Mr Ram Godhania on ram@mahercentre.com when cards are ready for collection you will be sent an email and text message if a mobile number is provided

We will then inform you to arrange collection or posting of your photo ID Pass. We aim to process your request within 14 days. If you have not heard from us or received your pass within this time frame, please telephone 0116 242 5360

Please apply early and avoid seeking to apply on the night as this may not be possible and we do not wish to offend or disappoint in such circumstances. 

We would remind you that whilst applying for passes has been simplified, the rules on applying to become a shareholder, ticketing for non-shareholders remains the same. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or queries.
