The e-ID : what is it?

The e-ID is a unique identification number (NIU) based on the capture of biometric and biographical data of each person living in Togo and residing on Togolese territory. It will serve as a reference for verifying the identity of individuals in their interactions with public administration.

The Biometric Identification (e-ID) project is the first project on the 2020-2025 government roadmap with the aim of offering identity and guaranteeing health coverage and access to basic services for all.
