Benefits of the Mauritius National Identity Card System

Citizens will quickly find that the Identity Card and its mobile version are convenient, secure and full of advantages.

Greater security – Data engraved into different layers of the card is stored in the ‘chip’, which helps to prevent lost or stolen cards from being altered or used by other people.

Greater convenience – In future, it will be no longer required to carry multiple documents to various organisations such as Banks and other government agencies to prove one’s identity and proof of address.

Additional application : – ‘SC’  Logo on Smart ID card allows free Bus fare for citizens aged 60 and above​.
