More than 21,000 Guyanese have enrolled for the National Digital Identification Card (E-ID), with about 75% of issued cards reported as already completed, according to the Data Protection Commissioner, Aneal Giddings. The information is shared as the government continues rolling out its nationwide electronic identification system and reports early progress in enrollment and card issuance. Speaking through the Department of Public Information, Giddings says the programme remains on track toward a broader target of 200,000 enrolments by the end of 2026.
Some coverage also frames the effort as part of Guyana’s wider move toward a more digital state, while noting that such technological transformation often raises questions around readiness, privacy, and accessibility. Across the outlets, the central update focuses on current participation levels and the proportion of cards already issued, alongside the government’s stated timeframe and enrolment goal for 2026.
