The National Registration Bureau has just dropped game-changing new rules for Kenyans applying for national IDs! Forget the old process—this is a whole new ballgame!
Director Aggrey Masai, speaking in Nakuru during the mass registration relaunch, declared that all first-time applicants MUST now show up with at least one parent before they can get their ID.
And that’s not all—a local Chief must personally verify that the applicant is indeed the child of the accompanying parent before the application is approved!

“Vetting is NOT over! We have simply tightened the rules,” Masai emphasized.
But here’s the real bombshell: Chiefs will now be held legally responsible if a non-Kenyan fraudulently obtains an ID!
🔥 Key Changes You MUST Know:
✅ Parent Presence: No parent? No ID!
✅ Chief Verification: The Chief must confirm your family ties!
✅ Faster Processing: New digital systems promise IDs in just six days!
✅ Strict Accountability: Chiefs will face consequences for any illegal registrations!
The government is pushing to register at least 70,000 Kenyans within 90 days, with the process being rolled out across all 290 constituencies.
Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen is set to officially launch the initiative, but one thing is clear—getting an ID in Kenya will never be the same again!
