At that time the countries of Kenya and Zambia already had their National IDs. It was decided that in order to strengthen security relations based on the Rule of Law in the four countries, the countries of Uganda and Tanzania must also issue National Identity Cards to their citizens.

There have been various efforts by the Government to ensure that all Tanzanians and resident foreigners are provided with National Identity Cards, but these efforts could not produce the desired results for a long time due to various reasons. In 1986, the Government enacted the Identity Law, which was not implemented or formulated.

It is clear that at this time there is great importance to have National IDs according to the existing environment. The establishment of the East African Community where five countries have united and agreed that the people of those countries can visit each other without distraction has also increased the importance of having IDs.
