  2. Complete the online form — Fill in your personal details and select an INEC office for your appointment.
  3. Print your application slip — After completing the form you will receive a slip with your appointment details.
  4. Visit the INEC office on your appointment date — Bring your documents for biometric capture (fingerprints and photograph).
  5. Collect your PVC — Once your card is ready, return to the INEC office with your registration slip to pick it up.

What to Bring

  • A valid means of identification (National ID, passport, or driver's licence)
  • Your printed application slip from the online registration
