The Department of National Registration Bureau was established in 1978 to implement and enforce the Registration of Persons Act (Cap 107), Laws of Kenya. The Act provides for compulsory identification, registration and issuance of identity cards to all persons who are citizens of Kenya and who have attained the age of eighteen years and above.
National Identity Cards play an important role in the security, social economic and political development of the country through identification of Kenya citizens, facilitating voting process and promoting economic activities.
The department has evolved over the years from manual processes to a semi-automated registration system that issues secure national identity cards to all eligible citizens.
