Malawi National IDs

The National Registration Bureau (NRB) has defended its decision to offer Malawian national identity cards to foreigners residing in the country saying the foreigners will be paying for the IDs.

This follows concerns from different individuals and other stakeholders who opposed the decision to offer the national identity cards to foreigners saying it will just cost government money which is not good considering Malawi’s economic situation.

Malawi National IDs
Malawi National IDs to include foreigners?

But reacting to the concerns, NRB publicist Norman Fulatira said people should not be worried since the constitution allows the bureau to offer IDs to foreigners who are legally residing in Malawi.

“The Registration Act of 2010 orders NRB to register both Malawians and foreigners who are 16 years and above but only those who are staying in the country legally.

“In this case the foreigners will be paying some money to get the Malawian identity card but the registration will start with indigenous Malawians,” said Fulatira.

When he launched the national identity card initiative last month, President Peter Mutharika said the cards bring a number of benefits to both citizens and the country as a whole.

Mutharika said the national identification cards will among others address challenges the country has been facing due to the absence of the documents, as Malawi was the only southern African country without national identification cards.

“Transformation has no other name! It is when a country takes the road of new innovations that we know we are making progress.

“Through our reforms programme we are reorganizing the systems to make them respond to needs of our citizens in as far as service delivery is concerned. This document – which will be owned by all Malawians from 16 years and above – has too many benefits that will ease life in all aspects,” said Mutharika.

He further said government will be able to screen individuals before they access public services and identify all citizens in the quest to reduce crime and improve security.

  1. Where is our beloved country of Malawi heading to with this DPP government who always have an appetite for money up to extent of selling our on land to foreigners? I recall a certain day some one said he over heard certain Zimbabwean nationals boosting that they shall be the one to have these ID benefing before us. nanga zapherezera panopazi? ndikulilira dziko lathu kuti likulowera kutiko panopa?

  2. send them to school again, why they want to sell them in frn nation? where did you heared that in mzbq, zim, zam or in south africa doing that? the main points is malawi is apoorest country in the world but its rich in corruption, at the ends the citizens will be suffering to get the identity document coz those who will be in front lines they will focusing to fill there pockets.

    Fuck you fuck you fuck you

  8. Thats funny, try to be serious guys. National Id mpaka kuyiyika pa malonda? Mind you, those Ids are meant for Malawians and not anthu obwera. Shaaaame!!

  9. Most of the comment stem from ignorance, because the only way to document all the foreigners in the country is to identify them through giving the IDs, Zambia is doing the same, Zambian nationals have green IDs while foreigners from Commonweth like myself have pink IDs and non commonweth have grayish IDs that way just by the color of the ID one is able to distiguish a foreigner and a citizen. The NRB should some how adopt this kind of system.

  10. Us here in SA, is very tough to get ID card if ur from outside. Even a working permit is hard too. And there is Nyasaland, u jst wan’t money from those pple insted of taking care of ur owm citizens fist. That is bull sheet.

  12. Pliz the nation, dont sell IDs to foreign nationals, thay makes them citizens too, so it doesnt work like that, give them assylum seeker permits, then if they qualify to be given IDs, they must apply, and be interviewed accordingly.

  14. We are also foreigners in other countries and we are subjected to IDs at $100 every year… There is nothing wrong with that… The advantage is you can keep track of foreigners in regards to other permits required for their stay…. and for security offcourse….

  19. Malawi sadzathekadi umphawi wachuluka mpaka kugulitsa ID’s nzeru mulibedi ngati zili choncho ingosiyani musaononge ndalama pachabe

  23. My view regarding this as an African its not an good idea to offer us yr nationality card may be they must educate us why it is important we need more information b4 we critize Goverment is going to generate money

  29. Foreigners will pay a fee to obtain the card not to obtain citizenship.

    In most counties if one does not have a driver’s license or a passport or birth certificate one must show identification to obtain government services such as a national (issued by government) identification card

    Foreigners in Malawi are doing many things including humanitarian aid, business or they at times may require a government recognised identification for banking, immigration or to visit hospitals

    This is not the sale of Malawi but an easy way of proving who someone is when dealing with a government official,

  31. This is the most stupid and shamefull idea i have ever heard in my life. Then better stop this IDs ideas becos they will be meaningless. SHAME TO OUR GOVT. KUGULISA DZIKO KUMENEKO.

  33. It’ll really take along time for Malawians to open their eyes and realize that this president and His government they’re here to chop our taxes

  46. Malawians sometimes it’s important to research before you comment on National issues .Eg Iam a proud Zambian ,a citizen by birth and a holder a holder of green National Registration Card NRC (ID).My grandmother is a Malawian by birth,a holder of picky National Registration Card NRC and Zambia Citizen by registration….grandmother is from Embangweni Mzimba .Dear bro and Sis Malawi democracy ikupha if u get over zealous ,stop un necessary arguments on national issues ?

  47. Why selling our identity in such way? Foreigners must follow the procedure to have malawi identity not in such way? I think we are directed by fools only how can they kuyiphweketsa malawi in such way while the malawians are struggling to other countries to get their identity . Our leaders must remove this fool idea, why fooling ourselves?

  71. This is the time for the masses to rise up. Its either the foreigners have to leave or no IDs at all. Why should a foreigner obtain an ID as if he is a bonafide Malawian. Be very careful you are treading in very deep waters political leaders. Don’t take Malawians for fools. We are watching. This a very dangerous situation you are creating.

  88. The issue itself is so frustrating! How can the government prioritize foreigners over citizens?
    This will be the first phase of these ID’s rollout, and surely nationals should take center stage!

  89. The national ID is for the people of Malawi,why are the foreigners be involved.The real reason for introduction of the ID’s in every country is to control the foreigners from staying iligally in that particular country.If it is true that the foreigners will be buying Malawian ID’s,it’s better the government to stop this process because it is of no important.Foreigners are rich people and you will see in ten years time,Malawi be the land of the foreigners.Tikhale nawo analanda malo”akulu anatelo.

  112. I thought one of the goals for these id,s was to differencient between malawians and foreighners in access to goverment social services, those guys are called foreghners because ali ndi kwawo, so we want these to have anupper hand on us by having dual citizen ship, zayambika zopusa zija.

  113. Agalu inu musamalipeputse dzikoli mwamva, mupatsa bwanji nation I D munthu obwera popanda ndondomeko zenizeni. Mukaone mayiko azanu njira zomwe amasata kuti munthu obwera apasidwe I D.

Shame anthu ongoganizira mawanja awo basi.

  114. Still More They Will Be Paying Something If They Want To Access Our Social Services.If You Look On The Sample Of Malawi Birth Certificate Foreigners Will Be Easy Identified,It Should Be A Must To Introduce The ID For One To Receive Any Govt Services Once The Exercise Is Over.These Is How It Will Be Like Sample; (1)Birth Entry Number………….? (2)Registration Number………….? (3)Name …? (4)Date Of Birth …………? (5)Sex ……….? (6)Place Of Birth ……….. . . . .? (7)Name Of Mother . . . . ? (8)Nationality Of Mother= Burundian. (9) Name Of Father. . .? (10)Nationality Of Father =Burundian. (11)Date Of Registraion= 10th December 2016.Bola Osayikapo Sign Ya Tambala Wakuda Pa Card-ipo. Hahahahahaha

  123. my name is Sinkala Mubanga and this is a testimony of how i got cure from HIV/AIDS, i have being suffering from hiv/aids for the past 8 years without the expectation of being cure, i was on ARV, despite the ARV i was not comfortable and there was nothing i could do because i knew and i was told by my doctor that there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, my dream of getting cured came to past the day i came across a testimony like this on a facebook page of how someone was cured through the help of dr olumo herbal medicine, i was advice its not real that there is no cure but something keep telling me to contact him, of which i later did and the cure was sent to me with an instruction on how to use it which i did accordingly and went for a test, to my greatest suprice the result was negative i could not hold back the tears of joy running down my chick my doctor was shocked, i thank God that am finanly cured from hiv/aids, DR OLUMO is an herbal specialist that can cure hiv/aids, you can contact him through his email which is [email protected] or whatsapp his mobile number is +2348138956767, am sharing to save lives, PLEASE SHARE TO SAVE SOME LIVES.

  124. If that was the case then all foreigners in other countries would hav had IDs. Then there wouldn’t be any meaning of being in a foreign land. I cud giv sense to giv them residential permits whatsoever to allow them stay legally BUT NOT IDs as this govt is putting it. Damit u pple

  127. ndiyeno ife tuli kunja kwa Malawi tikhoza ku panga apply or bwanji popeza munaikanso ma offices maiko ena okhudzana ndi za ma documentes titha kukanga nao? yankhani!!

  128. Bwanji osangonenayi kuti mukugulitsa malawi?tikulephela kuno ku southafrica kuphuphila kuti tipeze pepala lenilenili!!inu nkumatolengeza munyuzi,koma umphawi sizinthudiyi eti

  130. Contrary To The Whole Objectives Of National ID’s, Nosense, Then Do The Same With MEC Registration Of The ID’s I Don’t See The Difference If This Is A Case.

  131. That’s Rubish you said its national ID not intanation IDs there is no need to sale it to the foreigners Its for citizens. We don’t have to descus about this you know the right thing so stop that rubish.

  135. then thea is no reason of introducing national IDs if u will be selling them to foreigners com on guys….umbuli wa azizogoleli kumalawi utipwetekesa ndithu!!.!.there is no way a foreigner can buy a nationality ukondikusua ndi kusowa nzelu…chifukwa chake amalawi akumatibera ma resources tikungosekelera cant wait nkhalamba zonse zitamwalirira mbadwa wasopano utengeko ulamuriro mwina nkuonako kusintha.!!!!mbava zokonda ndalama selling malawi tikuona zoona.!!!

  138. Then Whats The Purpose Of The IDs ? I Thought U Want To Make Difference Btwn Citizens & Foreigners? Now After Obtainong It What Will They Be Called? Had It Been The Case, No Need For IDs. A Foreigner Z Supposed To Have Documents From His Motherland, Failing Which They R Deported And NOT Given One. Malawi Govt Z Doing Alot Of Strange Things As If We Dont Go Out And See What Happens. Should We Conclude That There Will Be No ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS In Malawi? So Countries Like Jonz, Uk ,USA R Run By Brutes?

  139. Point Of collection,then it has to be an International ID, not a national ID,how do you expect us as malawian nationals kumakhulana mapewa ndi obwera kuzipatala,ngakhale ku joni zimenezi kulibe,foreigners are only given temporary resident permit documents only musamatisokoneze agalu inu!!

    2. zaboza zimenezo ma id pano pajon ma nationala amapeleka only kuti amasiyana poti imakhala ya both side kuti ndimumalawi komaso SA…madocuments omwe mukunenawo ndienaso amenewo…ngati mumakhala pafupi ndiyemwe ali ndi ID yapa SA koma wakumalawi muuzeni akuoneseni.obwela omwe amavutika muzipatala zaboma kuno ku SA ndiomwe alibe zilolezo zokhalila muno osati yemwe alinazo.

    3. Ku south Africa? Which south Africa are you talking? Don’t cheat people here it’s just that you are illiterate on Immigration and Asylum. Uwu mwawonesa apawu ndi umbuli. just delete your comment

    4. Kodi Ku Joni Mumagwira ntchito yanji? muli ndi ma documents oyenera a goliati inu? an asylum paper is different from temporary resident permit problem is mumakwera ma truck and use border jumping,osamalankhula ngati amzeru muli ma vacuum heads..idiot!

    5. An asylum paper is only given for a period of time while a temporary permit can take up to 5years ungandiuze chani otsuka agalu wachabechabe iwe,ill literate ndikakhale ine? siunathawa kwanu kuno chifukwa siunaphunzire mbalame iweti,ndikakufufuza dzakuphulitse makofi awiiri ukamadzabwera..

    7. Hear this, I am not in south Africa and am no longer there. I went for education and am done. However, I know what it is to be in south Africa. If you have gone as a refugee not as immigrant you are given section 22 asylum seeker permit for 6 months to study and employment. this is then renewed for another 6 months. Upon completion of the 2 years you are given another asylum seeker permit for 2 years and is also renewable. after 5 years, they give you a permanent residence ID but not national ID. If you are an immigrant, you are given 30 days upon entry in which no extension is required without proper reason eg if you are not contracted by any employer (just one of example) you can’t extend 30 days given. Otherwise you need to have a visa. these visas are obtained in different ways. eg studies, special skill (football), marriage to a south African, employment etc. And with these visas you can end up declaring yourself as a citizen after sometime like what the Mabedi, Ntawali and Maduka did. I always speak when I know the truth and I know a lot not all.

    8. If you want references I will provide. This an area I know most for different countries. And those who are in South Africa know all this but others choose to ignore or may be they don’t know as a result they are deported. But once given asylum document your passport is ceased.

    10. Yankhanitu ozindikila aja mutsutse za umbuli wanga mu comment yangayo. Mmangonyoza mulibe basis basi. Typical of malawians. Nsanje imakulephelsani kuphuzira kwa anzanu.

  143. Gov don’t be stupid foreigners should be given only residential or working permits only why national ID?

  147. Lets try to find out if this story is true first. Journalists in Malawi rush to write stories before making deep investigations. They can write a story sourced from a kindergatten kid provided it wil attract more likes and comments on their pages

  149. what the difference then? unless their IDs will be different to indicate that they are foreigners residing in malawi, otherwise; the government is losing money on nothing

  154. Uganda panopa ikuchitika being cz of ma refugees,,we all know the advantages of refugees/foreigners.(they bring in new ideas.plz give them IDs!!!!!!!

  155. Palibe Foreigner Kupeza IDs Ya Malawi Or Kuti Alipile Palibe!Tidalivela Kuwawa Tonkha Dzikoli.Inu Kwawo Mungapeze I D Even kulipila Mungaipeze?Bwanji Mukumphekesa Maliwi?Mafumu Nanuso Ngati Mzika Zaziko lino Muli Mpheee kusekelela Zopusazi?

  156. Amalawi kukonda ndalama basi mpaka muzigulitsa Ma ID ndiekut tathauzo la ID simukuidziwatu kut ndichian kudzko? Boma losaganizira mtundu wake. Zandinyansa ngat ine mzika

  160. The Government is very broke that it’s thinking like a headless chicken. Maybe they want to recover money squandered on purchasing lexus & Mchinji by elections.

  163. refugees are given IDs anywhere in the world upon satisfying some conditions. However, it doesn’t mean they are citizens of those nations. Additionally, it is called permanent residency ID

    2. Technically Its Different From The ID’s Which Refugees Are Given In There Respectives Camps,don’t Mix The Two.We Are Talking Of National ID’s For Indegenous Malawians Without Looking On Skin Colour.

    3. No Upindi, these IDs are not given in refugees camp. For example in south Africa refugees are given permanent resident ID to own property, study and being employed! However, they are still bonafide citizens of their respective countries of origin! But this is free for RSA

    5. I agree any country can give u an ID by conditions. For example the refugees will be issued Asylum permit which expire and renewed under UN act. If he/she stay more than 7 yrs has a right to apply national ID. That does not change name its a National by resident. Any foreign national who marry Malawian has a right to apply but if he devoce in less than 7yrs its cancelled. If u are a foreigner u can apply residential ID with cames with terms and condition. Refugees will simply get Asylum permit.

    6. Michael, the asylum permit translates into a permanent residence not nation ID. A national ID is another thing which points to citizenship. For example in malawi, when a female foreigner (immigrant not refugee) is married with a malawian man she becomes a malawian citizen but not when a male foreigner marries a malawian woman (he doesn’t become a malawian citizens). But a refugee applies for asylum permit in which it is translated to permanent residence ID not national ID. in short an imigrant can be given a national ID but a refugee cannot be given a national ID but permanent residence upon satisfying some conditions thereof.

    7. Mr Gilbert Goliath Phiri, I think your head is completely empty, when it comes to Immigration Policy.
      You don’t have to be stubborn and thick headed, all you have to do is zip up and learn from your friends.
      Your ignorance is way too alarming!

    8. Arnold, talk! Where do you see the problem? Is an immigrant and refugee the same? Do they follow same procedures? I wonder why you look judgmental instead of defining areas I am wrong!

    9. Hear this Arnold, I am not in south Africa and am no longer there. I went for education and am done. However, I know what it is to be in south Africa. If you have gone as a refugee not as immigrant you are given section 22 asylum seeker permit for 6 months to study and employment. this is then renewed for another 6 months. Upon completion of the 1 year you are given another asylum seeker permit of 2 years and is also renewable for another 2 years. after 5 years (2 6-months and 2 2-year permits) , they give you a permanent residence ID but not national ID. If you are an immigrant, you are given 30 days upon entry in which no extension is required without proper reason eg if you are not contracted by any employer (just one of example) you can’t extend 30 days given. Otherwise you need to have a visa. these visas are obtained in different ways. eg studies, special skill (football), marriage to a south African, employment etc. And with these visas you can end up declaring yourself as a citizen after sometime like what the Mabedi, Ntawali and Maduka did then you obtain a national ID. I always speak when I know the truth and I know a lot not all.

    10. My brother, the vast expertise you claim to have, in this regard, is very shallow. You must be able to distinguish between the two.
      However, we share the same sentiment there when you said that you don’t know all,and I believe it won’t hurt to lend an ear!
      Besides we are here to enlighten each other wherever we go astray!

    11. hahahahaha do you know anything more than this? You seem to be somewhat arrogant. Tell me something different. You are just bragging but nothing to teach me! accept I have taught you what you didn’t even know. let others judge you Arnold.

    13. Jester, mwawonapo chani cahnzeru wanenapo anodiyu apapa? umbuli means kusaziwa kuti sukuziwa. pamenene kuzindikila ndikuziwa kuti sukuziwa ukufuna uziwe. osati kutukwana usakuziwa kanthu. vuto la amalawi ndilimenelitu nsanje, ntudzu, umbuli, ulesi, etc.

    14. Which refugee received National ID in South Africa once u are a refugee u remain unless patapita chinyengo u can only given an asylum seeker not ID bra ndipo if u are a refugee once kungopanga ma finger prints u won’t get I D am also in South Africa .Only ngati unabwera like Ma player ngati Atusaye nyondo akatha 5 yrs they are allowed to apply for citizenship

    15. Very correct Henry. Ma player anabwera ndi visa as immigrants and free to get national ID if they declare citizenship. Koma ngati unalibe visa uli ndi asylum seeker umapasidwa permanent residence after 5 years.

  171. This gvt is very attracted to money,you want to sell IDs to foreigners to become Malawians?You better consult Malawians first before you do that,otherwise you are selling this small country to foreigners

    1. When malawians went to zimbabwe, they were given ids, for free, now there are more malawians than zims in zim, why crying

    2. That was sometime back,things have changed now,hope you didn’t check that those IDs given to foreigners in Zim weren’t the same as those given to Zimbabwians,so your argument is not valid

  172. This gvt is very attracted to money,you want to sell IDs to foreigners to become Malawians?You better consult Malawians first before you do that,otherwise you are selling this small country to foreigners

  182. Sikoyenela kuti ma foreigners apeze ma IDs chifukwa zikhala ngati mukugulitsa dziko kwa anthu obwera. Ma foreigners apatseni zilolezo zina zokhalira mu m`dzikomo osati ma IDs. Pakhale kusiyana pakati pa anthu obwela ndi nzika za dziko. Sindikudana ndi anthu obwera koma ndikufuna kuti pakhale kusiyana obwera ndi nzika ya dziko. Mayiko ena sichapafupi munthu obwera kupeza ID, so why Malawi so easily. Pepani azitsogoleli athu ngati ndi chifundo mukuononga tsogolo la ena.

  183. its good for All Malawians to have the ID ,but i have two Questions…..WHY IS IT THAT IT HAS THE EXPIRE DATE? does the id have the expire date?….

  184. Looks great,

    Surprised it in Chichawa and English when the only official government language in Malawi is English,

    Road traffic take note

  185. Funny story considering the British government is funding the national identity card

    A foreigner living in Malawi is a permanent resident who had paid a fee to live in the country, and has a Malawian passport, does not require the identity card but likely more convenient to carry,
