Chad Launches Biometric ID Cards for Refugees

The Chadian government, through the Ministry of Public Security and Immigration, organized the launch of registration for the distribution of secure biometric identity cards to refugees on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at the UNHCR Representation in N'Djamena.
This official ceremony was presided over by the Minister of Public Security, Mr. Ali Ahmat Akhabach.

The biometric card issued by the State of Chad to refugees will allow the inclusion of refugees in the Integrated Population Management System and strengthen their already very favorable protection environment in Chad, by allowing them to do simple everyday things, for example: buy a phone chip, open a bank account, send or receive money, etc.
