According to insiders, the current NIC receipts will remain valid until the new cards are issued. However, receipt holders will have to re-register via the new system in order to obtain their definitive NIC. The cost of the NCI is 10,000 FCFA, but additional expenses such as tax stamp, the certificate of nationality and the certified copy of the birth certificate, may slightly increase the total cost.
