Nepal Prepares to Digitise Citizenship Certificates


The Government of Nepal has started preparations to digitise the citizen certificates issued by the District Administration Offices (DAO) to help maintain and update information on citizen certificates and to also facilitate the introduction of the National ID card.
“We will be in a position to give carbon copy of lost or stolen citizenship certificates issued from anywhere in the country once we complete computerisation of these vital data,” said Under Secretary Pralhad Pokharel, Head of E-governance Section at the Home Ministry.
For over the past years, the Home Ministry has been maintaining records and citizen certificates in a labour intensive mode of data management which runs the risk of losing vital data.
Under Secretary Pokharel said they plan to start computerising the data of citizenship certificates from all 75 DAOs, five Regional Administration Offices (RAOs), and two Area Administration Offices including in Butwal and Dharan. “We have already procured computers, printers, scanners and cameras and will soon dispatch them to the offices concerned to expedite the work,” he said. To respond to the challenge posed by the lack of technical manpower with knowledge on computer operations at the local level offices, the ministry organised a capacity building workshop for all the officials of the DAO, RAO, and Area Administration Offices in Kathmandu.
