To help keep your account information up to date and meet applicable regulatory requirements, eSewa users are required to update and verify their National Identity (NID) details in line with the directive issued by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB).
If you already have your NID details, you can submit them through the eSewa app by scanning your NID card or entering your information manually. If you haven't received your NID details yet, you can submit a self-declaration through the app and update your details when they become available.
Whether you have your physical NID card, have your NID details without the card, or are still waiting for your details, here's how you can complete the relevant process on eSewa.
What Is NID Verification?
National Identity (NID) verification is the process of confirming your National Identity details to ensure that your identity information is accurate.
A National Identity Card is a government-issued identity document containing a unique National Identity Number and personal information used to identify an individual.
As part of the applicable regulatory requirements, eSewa users are required to update and verify their NID details. Keeping your information current helps maintain accurate account records and meet the relevant regulatory requirements.
What Are the NID Verification Options on eSewa?
The eSewa app provides different options depending on whether you have received your NID details.
- If you have your NID card: Scan the front and back of your card and submit the required information.
- If you have your NID details but not your physical card: Enter your NID details manually through the app.
- If you don't have your NID details yet: Submit a self-declaration confirming that your details are not currently available and that you will update them when they become available.
- If your NID details are already verified: You generally don't need to submit them again unless the app requests an update or further verification.
