NIRA Opens Applications for Correction of ID Records and First-Time Registrations for 16+ Ugandans.

 

NIRA has issued a strong warning against individuals attempting to manipulate their date of birth for personal convenience.

“Changing your date of birth just to suit your interests is illegal, We are not here to make changes based on convenience or self-interest, but to ensure accuracy and integrity in the national registry.” said NIRA Registrar Ollama Clare. “

In addition to record updates, NIRA has also opened registration for first-time applicants aged 16 and above, especially those who were previously registered as learners and have since reached the required age for obtaining a National Identification card.

Ollama Clare noted that the authority is launching a countrywide campaign aimed at ensuring that every eligible Ugandan obtains a NIN, in line with the government’s digital transformation and service delivery objectives.

The update and registration exercise is expected to improve the accuracy of the national identity database and expand access to services that require a valid NIN, including banking, education, employment, and voting.
