Issued by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), this Regulation sets the minimum technical standards for biometric data capture (including fingerprints, and facial images) and defines protocols for secure storage, processing, and interoperability among various databases. Applicable to government agencies and private entities collecting biometric information, the framework ensures consistent quality and uniformity in enrollment devices and techniques, thus facilitating data interoperability and enhancing identity verification processes. Enforcement measures include monitoring compliance, with the possibility of suspending the right to perform biometric capture for entities that fail to meet prescribed standards.
