Registration procedures

Adults: Age 16years and above

There are two(2) modes of registration:

Online: whereby the applicants register via the internet, a unique reference number is generated online, which the applicant takes to his/her nearest registration point or office, for his/her biometric information to be captured.

Direct registration at a registration point: Here the applicant’s data is entered manually by the registration officer directly into the registration data bank and their biometric information is captured.

For both modes of registration, when the individual’s biometric data is captured at the Registration Station, a temporary Registration card is issued to the application to retain. This will be valid fior 12 months from the date of issue. This serves as proof of registration and must be surrendered when the permanent residency card is printed and to be collected.
