This guide will show you how to correct your National ID information online in Uganda. If your Nation ID has errors you can correct them rather than using a false identity. These errors could be spelling mistakes, wrong date of birth, wrong signature, and wrong area of residence. However, since information correction requires you to get a new ID card, you will need to pay UGX 50,000.
Requirements:
- Application form.
- Proof of payment.
- Documents that support your identity.
