Fiji National Identity Programme Concept Paper for Public Consultation

The Government of Fiji is in the process of establishing a National Identity (NID) system to provide all citizens and residents with a secure and unified form of identification. Currently, Fijians rely on multiple IDs (e.g., voter cards, tax IDs, passport, etc.) that are not integrated, resulting in fragmented access to public and private services. In June 2024 Cabinet gave approval to proceed with the National ID programme. This paper outlines the NID project’s objectives, benefits, and key design elements of the proposed legislation, including privacy and data protection, which will be incorporated in the proposed Fiji National ID Legislation.
