More than one million Zambians have signed up for digital identity cards as part of the Integrated National Registration Information System (INRIS) project, which will result in the implementation of a digital national registration card.

INRIS is the Department of National Registration, Passports, and Citizenship’s legal identification information management system. Over the following decade, the effort hopes to enrol 10 million people.

Zambia has begun the third phase of the project’s enrolment, which is taking place in the Central and Luapula provinces, as well as 79 national registration district offices across the country.
