Afghan identity card

The Afghan identity card or Afghan Tazkira is a national identity document that is issued upon request to every Afghan national, whether such individual resides inside or outside of Afghanistan. It serves as proof of identity and residency but more importantly Afghan nationality. The document is issued by Afghanistan's National Statistics and Information Authority (NSIA).
The Afghan Tazkira, which is as old as Afghanistan's history, has been modernized in recent years. The electronic identification (e-ID) card campaign was officially launched in Kabul on 3 May 2018 when President Ashraf Ghani and the First Lady, Rula Ghani, were handed their e-ID cards. Distribution of the e-ID cards or e-Tazkira later began in other parts of Afghanistan. The new e-ID card complies with international standards for identity documents. As of March 2021, over 3 million Afghan nationals have obtained their new Tazkiras. This includes the Afghan nationals residing in Pakistan and Iran.
