To create, manage, maintain and operationeralise the National Identification Register by

• Registering all citizens of Uganda;
• Registering non-citizens of Uganda who are lawfully residents in Uganda;
• Registering births and deaths
• Assigning a unique National Identification Number to every person registered
• Issuing National Identification Cards and Aliens’ Identification Cards to all registered persons

On behalf of the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA), whose principle responsibility is the establishment and maintenance of the National Identification Register, I am glad to welcome you to our website. I have no doubt that this platform will help our stakeholders and the general public to interact with us online and obtain information more readily about the activities and services of NIRA National Identification and Registration Authority’s mandate as established by the Registration of Persons Act 2015
