All in one, NIS will virtually act as a single source of information for the South Africans nation.

As per the Department of Home Affairs, this NIS process will allow the protection of residents and all known delivery and improve the security of the residents and familiarity of foreign nationals in South Africa.

To make the country digitalised, the department is launching a single integrated source of biographic and biometric information.

The current disparate civic and immigration system will produce the secured data that will add to the design of NIS as per the identity system of NIS and updated identification Act.

This process includes all processes in the system of their NIS system, including the birth registrations, marriages and deaths that will be digitalised and secured.

This successful implementation by NIS will lead to a significant reduction of fraudulent transactions and e-commerce services.
