About ZICTA SIM Card Update and KYC Registration
As a signatory to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) through the Ministry of Technology and Science and Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA), Zambia continues to remain in tandem with international and regional developments aimed at ensuring inclusive and sustainable national digital transformation.
This underscores the reason ZICTA issued SIM Card registration directives to Mobile Network Operators with the view of reinforcing security in the ICT sector as well as promoting compliance with Statutory Instrument Number 65 of 2011. Among other requirements outlined in the issued directives was the need for Mobile Network Operators to adhere to the SI during SIM card registration and replacement.
This included requirements related to the capturing of live facial images and approved identification requirements. Through these directives, Mobile Network Operators are to ensure that all new SIM card registrations and replacements contain a live facial image as well as the appropriate and approved identification.
