The Biometric Identification Program: vision and missions
The biometric identification program was launched by the Togolese government to accompany the evolution of Togo in the years to come.
This national biometric identification solution for citizens, called e-ID Togo, will allow the assignment of a unique identification number (UIN) to any natural person on Togolese territory.
The biometric identification program that Togo wishes to put in place is a key step in the development of the country, whose strong axis is the strengthening of the inclusion and social cohesion.

This program will improve the effectiveness of State interventions, which are, among others:
- Facilitate the granting of a unique proof of identity recognized by the government to any person resident in Togo,
- Accelerate the development of public services by allowing administrations to verify the identity of people during their interactions with citizens,
- Facilitate simple, reliable and secure authentication,
- Strengthen the coherence of the civil status system through more effective control of the identity of people in the public space.

The Biometric Identification Program: FAQ
Overview of the most frequently asked questions representing the keywords of the biometric identification program.
Registration in the biometric identification program allows you to have a UIN which is a prerequisite to benefit from the social assistance programs associated with it. The information validated during registration in the biometric identification program allows simplified identification and considerable reduction in administrative procedures with all partner systems.
The registration center is the place where you must go to register or finalize your pre-registration for the biometric identification program. It is located at the level of the local administrative authority to which the applicant's place of residence belongs.
The Unique Identification Number (UIN) is a unique and random identifier. It is assigned to each person successfully registered in the biometric identification program and allows, by its nature, to preserve the confidentiality of the characteristics of its holder (age, gender, place of residence, nationality, etc.). The UIN is used as an interoperability link between the databases of public administrations, local authorities or public organizations which manage social assistance programs.
