Mongolia to Roll Out New Smart I.D Card System
At its regular meeting on March 9, the Cabinet decides to renew current ID system with the electronic ID system.
The new ID card with embedded microchip will contain all personal data on the security chip and numbers and the database will be linked to agencies such as the Election Commission, Tax Department, Military Recruitment body etc.
The new card with biometric facial and fingerprint systems will allow Mongolian authorities to identify people with speed and accuracy, the First Deputy Premier Altankhuyag said.
These authorities include the police, customs and tax authorities and of course the local registration and passport granting authorities.
Besides, the introduction of new ID system will enable the authorities develop e-government. With the help of smart ID card system, the Government intends to facilitate public services to population, including social allowance, social security, health, various insurances and education.
Mongolian citizens can receive the mandatory new ID cards from October 2011.
Already, over 2.2 billion people, or 33% of the world’s population, have been issued with ‘smart’ ID cards. Of those, over 900 million have biometric facial and fingerprint systems. On present plans, over 85% of the world’s population will have smart ID cards by 2012.
