|Summary=Nepal has started a national ID card system for which the citizens' biometric information (fingerprints, iris, photo) have been taken. The work to build this system is being conducted by IDEMIA. It is being reported that a part of this project was funded by the Asian Development Bank. The plan is to use this national ID card as a proof of citizenship and also in order to distribute government services and social security benefits
}}
<blockquote> In 2012, the government announced that with USD 14 million from the Asian Development Bank, it was going to launch a pilot project of distributing the ID, with personal data, thumbprints and a unique ID number, to 100,000 people. The first phase of the plan was to cover 15 districts, followed by 25, and finally the remaining 35 districts.

There seems to have been little movement on the project between 2012 and 2016, when the government selected a bidder to distribute the ID cards. From six bidders (three from France, one from Germany, Sri Lanka and Malaysia), the government awarded the contract to a French company named Morpho (referred to as IDEMIA since 2017). Morpho was to provide 117,000 biometric ID cards in the second attempt at a pilot project. According to Republica Daily, the project cost the government USD 4,878,698, and was funded by the Asian Development Bank. [[CiteRef::lalNepalBiometricFuture2022]] </blockquote>

<blockquote> The chip-equipped smart ID card contains the card holder’s citizenship detail, photo, the fingerprint of ten fingers, the retina of both eyes, and a digital signature. [[CiteRef::dineshNationalIDCard2021]] </blockquote>

The articles mention that the technology could be connected to four databases: the Automated Biometrics Identification System (ABIS), the Afghan Automated Biometrics Identification System (AABIS), the Afghan Personnel and Pay System (APPS) and the e-Tazkira. This biometric information is now in the hands of the Taliban and could be used by them to target possible opponents.

<blockquote> As the Taliban swept through Afghanistan in mid-August, declaring the end of two decades of war, reports quickly circulated that they had also captured US military biometric devices used to collect data such as iris scans, fingerprints, and facial images. Some feared that the machines, known as HIIDE, could be used to help identify Afghans who had supported coalition forces. [[CiteRef::guoThisRealStory2021]] </blockquote>

[[CiteRef::humanrightswatchNewEvidenceThat2022]] </blockquote>

<blockquote> In 2010, the Afghan government began a campaign led by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology to collect Afghans’ biometric and other personal data and issue electronic identity cards. The digital identity system is known as e-Tazkira. The system holds at a minimum a person’s name, father’s and grandfather’s name, national identity number, physical description, place of origin, place and date of birth, sex, marital status, religion, tribal links, ethnicity, first language, profession, level of education, level of literacy, and biometrics (iris scan, fingerprints, and photograph).

|Summary=The US military engaged in building a database of Afghan citizens who were working with the US military in any way which involved collecting their fingerprints and iris data, possibly along with data for facial recognition. The articles mention that the technology could be connected to four databases: the Automated Biometrics Identification System (ABIS), the Afghan Automated Biometrics Identification System (AABIS), the Afghan Personnel and Pay System (APPS) and the e-Tazkira. This biometric information is now in the hands of the Taliban and could be used by them to target possible opponents.

<blockquote> As the Taliban swept through Afghanistan in mid-August, declaring the end of two decades of war, reports quickly circulated that they had also captured US military biometric devices used to collect data such as iris scans, fingerprints, and facial images. Some feared that the machines, known as HIIDE, could be used to help identify Afghans who had supported coalition forces. [[CiteRef::guoThisRealStory2021]] </blockquote>

<blockquote> established in late 2009 to keep criminal suspects and Taliban members from infiltrating the army and police force, the Afghan Automated Biometric Identification System (AABIS), run by the Afghan government, holds the biometrics (iris scan, fingerprints, and photograph) of former Afghan military and police members. [[CiteRef::humanrightswatchNewEvidenceThat2022]] </blockquote>

<blockquote> In 2010, the Afghan government began a campaign led by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology to collect Afghans’ biometric and other personal data and issue electronic identity cards. The digital identity system is known as e-Tazkira. The system holds at a minimum a person’s name, father’s and grandfather’s name, national identity number, physical description, place of origin, place and date of birth, sex, marital status, religion, tribal links, ethnicity, first language, profession, level of education, level of literacy, and biometrics (iris scan, fingerprints, and photograph).
