According to the department, the new E NICs which feature advanced biometric technology, have already been received. A batch of approximately 2.3 million cards has been ordered from a Finnish company, and these cards are set to be distributed across the country.
The Department of Registration of Persons has announced that the distribution of electronic National Identity Cards (E-NICs) will commence in the first few weeks of December.
This long-awaited initiative marks a significant step towards modernizing the country's identity management system.
The new electronic cards will include biometric data, which is expected to enhance security and streamline identification processes. The implementation of the E-NIC system is part of a broader effort to improve governance and digital services in the country.
Citizens are encouraged to keep an eye on official announcements for further details regarding the distribution process. The Department of Registration of Persons assures that the rollout of the new cards will be efficient and accessible to all eligible citizens.
