The overall objective of the Intergrated National Registration Information System (INRIS) project is to improve Civil Registration and Identity management processes through digitization and automation. The specific objectives include the following:
1. To digitize the management of civil registration and national identity in Zambia.
2. To link the management of civil registration and issuance of national identity cards.
3. To create a centralized biometric enabled national database of citizens and non-citizens living in Zambia.
4. To issue biometric enabled identification cards.
5. To resolve the civil registration and identity management problems associated with the current manual systems (for example, centralized certification, low birth and death registration coverage among others).
6. To electronically integrate stakeholder institutions to the INRIS system for verification purposes.
7. To decentralize certification services for civil identity documents.
