The Afghan Tazkira (Dari: تابعیت تذکره; Pashto: د تابعیت تذکره) is an official national identity document issued to every national and citizen of Afghanistan, including a member of the Afghan diaspora around the world.

[1][2][3][4] The document is used to obtain an electronic Afghan identity card (e-Tazkira), which is valid for up to 10 years and required for many things such as employment, registering in school, operating a business, buying or renting a house, opening a bank account, sending or receiving money through Western Union, purchasing a SIM card, obtaining a passport, booking airline tickets, staying in hotels, etc.

Both the Tazkira certificate and e-Tazkira are issued by the National Statistics and Information Authority (NSIA), which is headquartered in Kabul but has offices by the name of Asan Khedmat (Easy Services) in various provinces of Afghanistan.

[4] This can be done by providing older Afghan Tazkiras along with family and relatives appearing as witnesses, and they each must also have a valid e-Tazkira or a passports.

At the top of the current e-Tazkira is written the following: The descriptions of the fields on the e-Tazkira are printed in Dari, Pashto, and English language,[7] and include the following personal information: A machine readable zone is printed on the bottom of the back-side of the card.
