US$35.4M contract signed to make ‘one card’ system a reality No.107018
–– President Ali says ISO certified, ICAO accepted card will reduce the cost of doing business, improve effectiveness, competitiveness, efficiency
YET another milestone has been reached to bring the vision of a single electronic identification card for all government and business transactions to reality, as a US$35.4 million contract was signed between Germany-based company, Veridos and the Government of Guyana, on Friday.
The implementation of the single electronic identification card allows for the issuance of work permits and resident identification through a more coordinated approach that will see holders of the registration numbers using that single identification for all transactions, President, Dr. Irfaan Ali said during a simple
signing ceremony at State House. The government embarked on this process in October 2021, and sought the support of the United Arab Emirates. Since then, two companies submitted prototypes which were assessed by technical teams from Guyana’s National Data Man-
agement Authority (NDMA) and the Office of the National Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Advisor.
