The National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) has recognized the Uganda Security Printing Company (USPC) for its critical contribution to the production of secure national identification documents in Uganda.USPC plays a key role in the country’s identification system by supplying blank National ID cards used in the process of issuing secure identity documents to Ugandan citizens.
NIRA says the company’s contribution reflects the growing importance of local security printing in protecting documents that contain sensitive personal information and are relied upon for accessing numerous services.Through its investment in security printing technology and expertise, USPC is helping strengthen Uganda’s capacity to produce sensitive identity and other security documents within the country.
The local production of such materials is also important in enhancing control over the security of national documents while building domestic technical capacity in a sector that requires high levels of precision and protection.USPC showcased its work during the #MyIdentityExpoAndSymposium26, where citizens, government officials and other stakeholders had an opportunity to learn more about the processes involved in producing secure identity documents.
The exhibition also offered the public a chance to appreciate the technology and security architecture incorporated into the physical National ID card carried by millions of Ugandans.NIRA’s recognition of USPC highlights the importance of collaboration among institutions involved in Uganda’s identification ecosystem as the country continues to strengthen the security, reliability and local production of national identity documents.
