National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA)
Our operations span data centres, regional enrollment offices, and mobile registration units to ensure nationwide coverage, especially for remote and marginalised communities. NIRA’s identification system also serves as a vital tool in facilitating online and offline identity authentication for various sectors, including banking, telecommunications, aviation, and government institutions. In addition to providing essential verification and authentication services, NIRA works in partnership with both public and private sectors to integrate the national ID system into a broad range of use cases, from SIM card registration to social welfare distribution and secure online transactions. The national ID will also play a critical role in humanitarian efforts, helping streamline aid distribution and ensuring resources reach those most in need. NIRA’s mission is to create a trusted, citizen-centric ID ecosystem that supports secure, transparent, and efficient service delivery across Somalia. With a strong focus on data privacy, accessibility, and inclusion, we are committed to building trust between the government and its people while fostering partnerships with regional and international stakeholders. Through continuous innovation and a focus on user experience, NIRA is driving Somalia’s digital transformation and contributing to the country’s socio-economic development.
