The government, through the Department of Immigration, has urged Kenyans who applied for the new generation of identification cards to collect them from their respective application centres.
According to immigration Principal Secretary, more than 400,000 processed ID cards were yet to be collected in various application centres across the country.
He also revealed that the government had already issued three million ID cards since the government began processing the new generation of identifiers.
Besides addressing the issue of uncollected IDs, the PS noted that with the introduction of digital IDs, Kenyans were able to upload the new generation identifiers online without the need to carry them around.
“The government has started to roll out the digital IDs, and I am happy to note that you no longer need to carry your physical ID; you can get it uploaded on your phone. Maisha card is a third-generation ID with the latest features,” Bitok stated.
