INTRODUCTION
The Immigration National Identity card Management Information System Processing and Administration system is the only through way a state and a nation’s population figure can be ascertain. To be accepted in a given locating or geographical area, it is necessary to bear a mark. Mark here does not really mean facial mark rather an identity. This identity card bear your name, states, every single information about you as an individual or person. This therefore boils down to what we know as Immigration National Identity card Management Information System.
The Question is “what is an identity card? As defined by many authors and dictionary including encyclopedia. It is a national document certifying State, nationality, issued by the government of a country to every individual or person that the definition Immigration National Identity card Management Information System can also be called a true image of an individual or person, because it tells well abut a person.”
Every citizen of a country that is of the stipulated age constitution have the right to apply for insurance of the Immigration National Identity card Management Information System in the state he or she is staying. The Immigration National Identity card Management Information System is not issued to people who are not of age. For this reason, there is a need for the maintenance and assessment of records in order to maintain current data concerning an individual. It is also for easy references, to know the number of labour force, Identification and fraud check and also good for revenuer allocation of the federal government for proper population figure.
However, there are different arms in the internal affair ministry which takes the responsibility of checking and issuing the Immigration National Identity card Management Information System. But as it concers our area of interest in this project work, Department of National Civil Registration Under the federal ministry of Internal Affairs, of Anaoch Local government Area of Anambra State will be our target.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Immigration National Identity card Management Information System processing and Administration system is not an easy task. This reason is because it involves absolute carefulness to ascertain a population figure, prevent forgery and avoid the dangers of Impersonation, duplication of multiple Immigration National Identity card Management Information System for one particular person.
Scanning through reports for a file with definite information can be a techniques and time wasting work because of the large volume of record to be scanned. Also to change a particular information may be as a result of marriage, change of name, or loss of the Identity card in other words known as update will also be a tug of way for the individual in charge. It creates weariness and loss of dedication to duties by the staff thereby restricting the powers of the Department of National Civil Registration services following the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which states that “No Public Officer shall put himself in a position where his personal interest conflict with his duties and responsibilities” (1999 Constitution 5th schedule point 1 no.1)
