We wish to advise the public that we regard this as risky and potentially dangerous and that they should not engage any such services, to register for their Trident ID cards, from unofficial persons or entities.
The registration for the new ID card requires the sharing of personally identifiable information which if shared with the wrong person could lead to identity theft. Registration for the Trident ID card should only be done either face to face at a registration centre or using the online portal directly by the person who is registering.
