Tanzania Tables Infant ID Bill

S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

The government plans to table the Infant Registration Bill to allow the National Identification Authority to register children from birth. The law would assign identification numbers at birth and issue national ID cards at age 18. Nida Director General James Kaji said the move would expand access to social services and improve population data. He urged more than 300,000 citizens to collect processed ID cards.
