The government of Maldives first formed a Film Censor Board on 21st May 1956 under the President’s Office. This Board was formed with the objective of presenting and promoting cinema and theatrical performances for the benefit of the Maldivian people. On 15th May 1983 the Film Censor Board was transferred under the mandate of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Housing. The mission of the five-member

Board was to check films and theatrical dramas to see if they had issues that conflicted:
1. The Constitution, Laws and Regulations of the Maldives
3. The Maldivian Culture
On 1st April 1998 the Film Censor Board became a subsidiary of the Ministry of Information, Arts and Culture and on 29th December 2005, the Film Censor Board was renamed as the National Bureau of Classification, NBC. This change was brought as the government believed that classification and education was the key to manage and regulate different content so as to protect values of artistic productions and safeguard consumer interests at the same time. Presently, the National Bureau of Classification is under the Ministry of Youth and Sports
