Supply and Delivery of Fifteen Million Pre-Printed Polycarbonate Cards for the Issuance of National Identity Card
The National Identity Card (NIC) Issuance Project is a landmark initiative by the Government of Sri Lanka to establish a modern, secure, and efficient identity management system for over 22 million citizens. The project covers the complete cycle of design, production, personalization, and issuance of NICs, backed by advanced technology and international best practices in data protection and security. By replacing the current manual processes with an integrated digital framework, the project will streamline government services, strengthen national security, and open the pathway to e-governance and digital transformation. Structured under a transparent and globally recognized International Competitive Bidding (ICB) framework, the project provides a unique opportunity for strategic investors, technology providers, and implementation partners to collaborate in delivering one of the most impactful national programmes in Sri Lanka’s recent history. For partners and investors, the NIC Issuance Project is not only an entry point into a nationally significant venture but also a gateway to wider opportunities in South Asia’s evolving digital and technological landscape. The scale, scope, and national importance of the project ensure strong stakeholder commitment, while its forward-looking design positions collaborators at the centre of Sri Lanka’s transformation towards a secure and digitally empowered society.
