The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, is
pushing for the use of the new national e-Identity card as travel document. One
of the applets fixed in the card has all the travel details and requirements
contained in Nigeria’s e-passport. Known as Travel Applet, it could easily be
used as travel document with the approval of the international community.

Tunji Durodola, Head, Card Management Services, NIMC, said
that the back of the NIMC e-ID Card contains three lines called MRZ Lines,
Machine Readable Zone, just like the Passport. “The NIMC e-ID Card has support
for e-Visas when they become acceptable worldwide,” he said.

He further stated that the International Civil Aviation
Organisation, ICAO, supports the use of electronic visas, e-Visas, as travel
document. For this to work, Durodola,
said NIMC and the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, must work things out in
agreement.
