Visit a Registration Center

Locate a Registration Center:

Identify the nearest National ID registration center. These can be found at government offices, public venues, or temporary sites set up for this purpose. Check online or contact local authorities for the exact locations.

Prepare Your Supporting Documents:

Gather all necessary documents before heading to the center. Commonly required documents include:

Birth Certificate:

A document proving your date and place of birth.

Government-Issued Photo ID:

Such as a passport or driver’s license.

Proof of Residence:

This could be a utility bill, lease agreement, or any official document that shows your current address.

Additional Documents:

Any other specific documents requested by the registration authority.

Validate Demographic Data and Capture Biometric Information

Demographic Data Validation:

Upon arrival, present your documents to the registration officials. They will:

Verify Personal Details:

Ensure your name, date of birth, address, and other personal information are correct.

Check Document Authenticity:

Validate the authenticity of your supporting documents.

• Biometric Information Capture:

  • Fingerprint Scanning: Your fingerprints will be digitally scanned. This involves pressing each finger on a scanner to create a unique biometric profile.
  • Iris Scan: A high-resolution image of your iris will be taken. This scan is used because the patterns in the iris are unique to each individual.
  • Front-Facing Photograph: A photograph of your face will be taken. Ensure you look directly at the camera and follow any instructions given by the officials to get a clear image.

Review and Confirm Information

Review Your Data:

You will be provided with a summary of your captured demographic and biometric data. Take the time to carefully review this summary.

Check for Accuracy:

Make sure all your personal details and biometric data are accurately recorded. This includes verifying the spellings of your name, the accuracy of your date of birth, and the clarity of your biometric scans.

Confirm the Information:

Once you have reviewed and are satisfied that all the details are correct, confirm this with the registration officials. If there are any errors or discrepancies, report them immediately so they can be corrected on the spot.

Additional Tips:

• Prepare in Advance:

Before visiting the registration center, check the official website or contact the relevant authorities to confirm the list of required documents and any specific instructions.

• Optimal Timing:

To avoid long waiting times, consider visiting the center during off-peak hours.

• Retain Confirmation Receipt:

After completing the registration process, you will receive a confirmation receipt. Keep this receipt safe, as it may be required when collecting your National ID card once it is ready.
