Replace a lost or damaged National ID

Replace a lost or damaged National ID — we handle it end to end.

Replace a lost, damaged or defaced National ID with NIRA. A government fee applies, priced by the reason (a damaged or defaced card costs more than a lost one); our team handles the whole process — government fee included — for one all-in price. You'll need a police report and a letter from your LC1 chairperson.

What NIRA charges

Replacing a lost National ID costs UGX 50,000, and NIRA requires a letter from the Police with the payment receipt.
