Identification Capability
This content has been produced by the Department of Internal Affairs.
Identification management plays a core role in most of the work we do. As such everyone should have a foundational level of understanding about what it is and how it impacts us and our customers. Good identification management helps you to reduce and/or prevent fraud, loss of privacy and identity theft, by applying good practices and processes.
The recommended approach to complete the courses in the following order:
-
G1 - Identification Essentials
-
G2 - Names and other Information
-
G3 - Introduction to Identification Standards (coming 2025)
G4 - Biometrics 101 (coming 2024), is a standalone course that can be completed at any time.
Each course is made up of a series of modules, each taking approximately 20 minutes to complete. There is a small quiz at the end of the last module in each course.
