ehho2 where did you read about someone saying they need a new act ?
Have heard from a few people that getting the document itself is getting more streamlined where people can get it at the district office within a week but requires a lots of your own running around for the initial process of police report, renunciation, then ward signature, "sanakhat", application form etc etc etc. It will require multiple visits to the district office. Their experience was that it doesn't happen in just a day or two, but the process is a big improvement over the old days of CDO office delays.

Since the old nagarikta automatically becomes null and void the moment one gets one's naturalization document, there is not much of a choice. Engaging in any kind of financial or legal transaction with the old nagarikta can create legal problems in the future. ... So the choice is between a null and void old nagarikta and the semi-useless (at least for now) new NRN nagarikta.



As you correctly pointed out, nobody is talking about the NRN nagarikta any more.

But...there is not much of a choice
