How To Check National Identity Card Status Online In Kenya

When one is done with the whole process of applying for a national Identity card, one is supposed to wait for the identity card to be processed.

The waiting period is estimated to last between six to eight weeks. During that time, the applicant is expected to be holding in their possession a waiting card which serves as their national identity card.

Before, the applicant would seat and wait until the waiting period is over and then they would go to the office of the District officer to check if their identity card had been processed or not.

In many cases, applicants would be told to wait a little longer if it had not been processed yet. This resulted in applicants making futile trips to and from the Office of the District officer until they got the identity card.
