Government Issues New Directives on Collection of IDs, Birth Certificates, and Driving Licenses

On Friday, the government, through Huduma Kenya, urged citizens to promptly collect their processed documents, including driving licenses, identification cards, and birth certificates. Huduma Kenya reported that 45,575 smart driving licenses, 134,602 identification cards, and 38,928 birth certificates are ready for collection.

Kenyans who registered for these documents are directed to collect them from any of the 53 Huduma Centres nationwide. The statement specified, “Issuance of Drivers License Biometrics is available at our 15 select Huduma Centres Countrywide.”

Huduma Kenya also addressed delays in ID card issuance, attributing them to pending court cases that have caused a backlog in the system. “Due to court orders stopping Maisha card production, many IDs have not been processed, leading to delays,” the agency stated.

“We apologize for the delay. We are experiencing a backlog, but it is being handled,” Huduma Kenya assured.
