Statute overview

About this statute

This article creates NIDA and says it has legal personality plus administrative and financial autonomy. This article defines key terms used in the law, including national identity card, civil status, and identification. NIDA’s head office must be in Kigali City, and it may be moved elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary. NIDA may also open branches elsewhere in the country if necessary and approved by a Prime Minister’s Order. NIDA is responsible for population registration, civil registration, and issuing the national identity card, and it must carry out related implementation, coordination, and advisory tasks. A Prime Minister’s Order determines NIDA’s supervising authority and category, and a performance contract must be concluded between the supervising authority and the decision-making organ.
