Listen up, y’all, let’s talk about gettin’ yourself an Afghanistan ID card. Now, I ain’t no fancy lawyer or government fella, but I know a thing or two ’bout gettin’ things done.
Why You Need an Afghan ID Card
First off, why the heck you need this card? Well, lemme tell ya, it’s like your ticket to doin’ stuff over there. Wanna get a job? Need to go to school? Heck, even just providin’ who you are, you gonna need this here ID card. They call it a “tazkera,” or sometimes an “e-Tazkira” if it’s one of them fancy electronic ones. It’s good for like, ten years, they say. So, it ain’t somethin’ you gotta do every year, thank goodness.

Gettin’ Your Hands on an ID Card
Now, how you get this card? Well, it ain’t like walkin’ into the store and grabbin’ a candy bar, that’s for sure. They got these places, “Population Registration Offices” they call ’em. Sounds all high and mighty, but it’s just where you go to get your papers. Seems like they started givin’ out these fancy electronic cards at a few of these offices first, but now they’re spreadin’ ’em out all over the place.
- Find the Right Place: First thing, you gotta find the right office. Ask around, folks will know where to go. Don’t just wander around like a lost calf, now.
- Get Your Papers Together: You gonna need some papers, I reckon. Birth certificate, maybe somethin’ else. I ain’t exactly sure what all, but you ask ’em at the office, they’ll tell ya. Don’t go there empty handed, ya hear.
- Take a Photo: You need a picture, just like for anythin’ else. But these days, they got all this fancy stuff. You can take a photo online, they say. Use your phone or somethin’. Makes it easy, I guess. Just make sure it looks like you, not some movie star. And they gotta see your face good, no hidin’ behind big hats or sunglasses. They call it “biometric photo”, sounds complicated, but it just means a good clear picture of your face, I reckon.
- Fill Out Forms: They gonna give you some papers to fill out. Now, I ain’t too good with readin’ and writin’, but you find someone to help you, okay? Don’t be shy, plenty of folks willing to lend a hand. Make sure you don’t scribble all over the place, keep it neat and tidy.
- Wait a While: Then you gotta wait. Nothin’ happens fast, you know? They gotta check things, make sure you ain’t some kinda troublemaker. But eventually, you’ll get your card. They say they’re printin’ and givin’ out these cards in all the provinces now, even the far-off ones. So, just be patient.
That Yellow Paper Thing
Now, there’s also this other paper, a yellow one. They call it a “NSIA yellow document”. It’s got stuff about your birth and all that. And it’s got a picture of the kid, if it’s for a young’un. This yellow paper is important too, seems like it’s the main ID thing over there, even more than the tazkera sometimes.
Passports and Visas
Oh, and if you’re thinkin’ about travelin’ outside Afghanistan, you gonna need a passport and a visa, not just the ID card. But the ID card is the first step, see? You gotta prove who you are before they let you go anywhere else. And gettin’ those passport photos, same thing as the ID card, you can do it online now. Saves you a trip to some fancy photo studio, I guess.
It’s Important, You See
So, look, gettin’ this Afghanistan ID card, it’s a big deal. It’s how you show you belong, how you get things done. It ain’t always easy, but it’s worth it. Just be patient, be polite, and do what they tell ya. And don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. There’s always someone willin’ to lend a hand to a neighbor in need.
Remember, this card, it ain’t just a piece of plastic. It’s your proof, your identity. Treat it right, keep it safe, and it’ll do you good. Now, go on and get yourself sorted out. Don’t wait for things to come to you, you gotta go out and get them. That’s the way the world works, y’know?
Keep it Safe

Once you get that card, hold on to it tight! Don’t go losin’ it, or you gotta start all over again. Keep it in a safe place, and don’t let just anybody get their hands on it. It’s like your most precious possession, see? Treat it that way.
Well, that’s all I got to say about that. Hope it helps ya out. Now, go on and get ‘er done.
