National ID & Civil Registry

A nation that values its people must first recognize them. In the United Kingdoms of Bamenda (UKB), the National ID & Civil Registry system is a cornerstone of citizen dignity, legal identity, and public service delivery. It ensures that every individual is visible, accounted for, and empowered with the documents needed to fully participate in national life.

UKB operates a centralized digital registry that allows citizens to swiftly and securely register births, marriages, deaths, and obtain their National Identification Card (NIC) with ease. These documents are more than paperwork—they are gateways to education, healthcare, voting, business ownership, travel, and protection under the law.

Every child born within UKB is entitled to a digital birth certificate, giving them a recognized legal identity from the start of life. Parents can initiate registration online or at local registration centers, with mobile outreach services available in rural areas to ensure full inclusion.

Marriage and death certificates are also processed through the same integrated system, providing families with accurate legal documentation for property rights, inheritance claims, and social welfare access. These services are streamlined to minimize wait times, reduce fraud, and guarantee privacy and accuracy.

The issuance of the National ID Card is a top priority for all citizens and legal residents. This secure, biometric-enabled card serves as a universal means of identification and verification, linking individuals to their civil status, digital accounts, and public records.

To improve accessibility, UKB has deployed regional and mobile civil registry units to bring services closer to communities—especially in remote, underserved, or conflict-affected areas. A robust online platform also allows citizens to track their applications, schedule appointments, and receive updates in real-time.

Through the Civil Registry, UKB is not only organizing data—it is affirming that every life counts. This is part of a broader effort to build a nation where identity is not a privilege, but a right protected by technology, transparency, and trust.

Because recognition is the first act of justice—and inclusion begins with being seen.
