The department of Immigration  has revealed that the new Biometric  Card scheme launched earlier, has now replaced the current national identity card in circulation.

According to a press release issued yesterday, the department of Immigration urged all national identity card applicants to go to the Immigration Head Office, Banjul to obtain the new national identity card.

Applicants according to the release are advised to go along with two hundred dalasis (D200.00) as the cost for the identity card, and are also urged not to bring along any passport size photos, as they are inclusive. The Gambia Immigration Department therefore solicits the support and cooperation of the general public towards this national endeavour, the release concluded.
