Naimubu maintained its operations from its office at Jalan Sagara no. 7 Djakarta until 1945.
On 19 August 1945 Naimubu was split into several departments:

Department of Home Affairs ; at the time, still overseeing religious matters; Religious matters would eventually be handed over to the newly established Department of Religious Affairs
