Features of the National Multipurpose Identity Card

  • Biometric Authentication: It utilizes fingerprints and photos for secure identity verification, ensuring reliability and accuracy.
  • Machine-Readable Zones (MRZ): The card complies with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards, enhancing its compatibility and usability.
  • Offline Capability: Designed for areas with limited network coverage, the card enables transactions even in remote regions, promoting financial inclusion.
