NIRA is Hiring Data Processors and Registration Assistants for Mass Enrolment and Renewal of National IDs

The National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) is the government agency responsible for establishing and maintaining the National Identification Register (NIR), which contains the biometric and biographic data of all Ugandan citizens and legally resident aliens.

NIRA also issues National Identification Cards and certificates for births, deaths, and adoption orders. NIRA intends to conduct a mass enrolment and renewal exercise for all expired and unregistered citizens.

This is in line with the Registration of Persons Act, 2015, which makes possession of a National Identification Card or National Identification Number (NIN) a mandatory requirement for accessing public services.
