The National Identification Authority (NIDA) is set to start the exercise of obtaining the biometric capture of information for Dar es Salaam residents who filled application forms for the national identity cards.

The exercise will require applicants to have their fingerprints, images and signatures taken.

Speaking to The Guardian in an exclusive interview, NIDA Information Officer Thomas William said the agency is still in the preparations process of the exercise. “We have organised ourselves well and people will be notified before the commencement of the exercise though the media and other outlets,” he said.

Among the process, the authority has ordered for more equipment to efficiently conduct the exercise.

He asked the community to be cooperative to the authority, saying, “We need people to be cooperative in availing the correct information.”

NIDA has so far issued IDs to 220,000 civil servants and a few selected citizens. President Jakaya Kikwete inaugurated the national identity cards project on February this year whereby the first 46 IDs were issued to top government leaders and a few prominent persons, marking a milestone in the registration and identification of Tanzanians.
