Hey, you wanna buy a Mauritania ID card, huh? Well, I heard some things about that. This whole ID card thing, it’s a big deal, you know. It’s like, if you ain’t got one, you’re nobody, see?
So, this Mauritania place, it’s somewhere far, far away. I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it. They say you need some kinda paper to go there, like a permission slip. They call it a “visa.” And guess what? It ain’t free. You gotta pay for it. Like, 55 bucks for 30 days, 95 for 90 days. And if you wanna stay real long, like 360 days, that’s gonna cost ya 190 big ones! All in money orders, mind you. No other way.
And get this, they say you can get this visa thing when you land in Mauritania. Right there at the, uh, the “port of entry.” That’s what the fancy folks call it. Sounds important, don’t it?

Now, about this ID card. Some folks, they got parents born in this Mauritania place. They can get a special passport, ’cause of their folks, see? But, and this is a big but, they gotta get this National ID card first. It’s like, the first step, ya know? It’s like you gotta crawl before you can walk, that’s what they say.
And they got new rules now, for this Mauritania National Identity Card Scheme. Big, fancy words, right? But it means, if you’re a citizen of Mauritania, even if you weren’t born there, you can still get this ID. As long as your people are from there, see? It’s like a family thing, I guess.
This ID card, it’s important, they say. It’s like, your proof, you know? Proof that you’re you. And they got different kinds, I heard. This passport thing, that’s an ID too. So, yeah, there are many kinds of national identity documents in use, like your driver’s license or somethin’, I reckon.
- They say you need a special picture for this ID.
- Not just any picture, mind you.
- A special one.
- They say you can take it online, you know, on the computer.
- You know, use your phone, they say, or the PC.
- It’s supposed to be easy, that’s what they say.
They say you gotta put your head in some kinda green thing, a green overlay, they call it. Sounds weird, right? But that’s how they do it, I guess. And someone else gotta take the picture. Can’t take it yourself, no sir. They call that a “selfie.” And selfies ain’t allowed for this ID card photo. Don’t ask me why. Rules are rules, I guess.
So, if you’re thinkin’ of gettin’ one of these Mauritania ID cards, there’s a lot to it, see? It ain’t just like buyin’ candy at the store. There are steps, and papers, and pictures, and money. Lots of money.
Why you need this Mauritania ID card anyway? Are you going there? Or maybe you got folks from there? It’s a whole thing, I tell ya. A whole big thing. They make it so complicated. I don’t get all these rules but, it’s important, they say. Gotta follow ’em if you want that card.
But that’s all I know. I just hear things, you know. Folks talkin’, and I listen. I don’t know all the details. But it sounds like a lot of work to buy Mauritania ID card. You need money. You need to follow their rules. Get the right picture. Fill out the right papers. It’s a mess, if you ask me. But hey, if you need it, you need it. Just be prepared, that’s all I’m sayin’. Be prepared for a whole lot of rigmarole.
And remember that visa thing. You need that too if you want to go to that place. It’s like an entry ticket. More money you have to pay, of course. Nothing is free, that’s what I always say. Nothing is free. Except maybe the air you breathe. But even that might change someday, who knows. They might start chargin’ for that too. You never know these days.
So there you have it. All I know about this Mauritania ID card. It’s a lot to think about, ain’t it? Makes your head spin. Mine is spinning just talkin’ about it. But that’s life, I guess. Full of complicated things. Just gotta do your best to figure it all out. And hope you don’t get lost along the way.
