How to obtain an E-tazkira in Kabul province?
The applicant goes through the following steps to obtain an E-tazkira:
- The applicant fills out and submits the E-tazkira application form online on the website (nid.nsia.gov.af).
- When applying for an E-tazkira, a copy of the paper tazkira and a photo with a white background are required.
- If the applicant does not have a paper tazkira and is under 18, they provide a copy of the tazkira of a close relative.
- If the applicant does not have a paper tazkira and is 18 years old or older, a copy of the E-tazkira of a close relative, and copies of the E-tazkira of two verifiers must be provided.
- After completing the online E-tazkira application form, the applicants will choose an E-tazkira distribution center near them in Kabul province.
- After completing the online application form, the system automatically assigns the applicant a date and time of the visit.
- The online system provides the E-tazkira forms as PDFs, which the applicant can print and save.
Step 2: Visiting the E-tazkira distribution center
- During the visit, the applicants prepare the E-tazkira application form, which they submit to the E-tazkira distribution center.
- The E-tazkira distribution center verifies the applicant's Afghan identity for applicants under 18 based on the confirmation of the head of the family and 18 years and older applicants after presenting a copy of the E-tazkira of one of the legal relatives, and two Afghan verifiers with E-tazkiras.
- The applicant pays a fee of 500 AFN for the E-tazkira and receives a copy of the receipt.
Step 3: Biometric information registration
- After completing the documents, the photo and biometric information of the applicant, including fingerprints and irises will be registered.
- The head of the family signs the form, and it is necessary for the applicants to review their information carefully before confirming it.
- The distribution Center for E-tazkiras checks the applicant's documents, verifies the information, sends the E-tazkira to the printing house and a receipt with a receiving date is issued to the applicant.
Step 4: Receiving the E-tazkira
- Finally, on the specified date and time, the applicant will visit the relevant center in Kabul province and collect his E-tazkira.
- E-tazkira will be given to the applicant, the head, or a member of the family who is over 18 years old and has a receipt.
