A Game-Changer: Access Over 240 Government Services

In a significant move towards inclusivity, we have extended vital identification services to the Rwandan diaspora together with the Rwanda National Identification Agency (NIDA).
Through this collaboration, citizens living abroad can now access essential services, including:
- Application for a National ID for diaspora applicants without an NPR number.
- ID correction for diaspora.
- ID replacement for diaspora.
This initiative bridges a crucial gap, ensuring that Rwandans worldwide maintain their connection to home through proper identificationâ€"whether applying for their first ID, replacing a lost ID, or correcting information on an existing ID.
By digitizing these services, we have eliminated all barriers, allowing our global citizens to manage their identification needs efficiently and securely online. These services and many more strengthen national connections by helping the diaspora maintain official ties to their homeland.
Real Stories: The IremboGov Impact

Within minutes, he submitted his application and received live updates throughout the process. Thirty days later, his National ID was ready for pickup at the Rwandan embassyâ€"fast and transparent.
