Nepal — Department of National ID and Civil Registration National Identity Card Application

The Department of National ID and Civil Registration's (DoNIDCR, under the Ministry of Home Affairs) National Identity Card application form, राष्ट्रिय परिचयपत्रको लागि निवेदन फाराम (नेपाली नागरिकता प्राप्त व्यक्तिको लागि मात्र) ("Application Form for National Identity Card, for persons who have obtained Nepali citizenship" — for first-time applicants only, per the form's own declaration "मैले यसअघि राष्ट्रिय परिचयपत्र लिएको छैन।", "I have not previously obtained a National ID Card"). Opens Nepal's National ID vertical (the country's 3rd schema in this registry, alongside `np/ocr/company-registration-private-ekal` (Business Formation) and `np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form` (Passport)). Embedded via a flipbook viewer on the department's own content page (`donidcr.gov.np/content/271/details-registration-application-form-for-national-identity/`), reachable only via a `var pdf = '...'` JS string in the page's raw HTML rather than a plain `` link. A genuine 2-page text-layer PDF (not scanned), entirely in Nepali (Devanagari) with a handful of bilingual English field labels (name/date-of-birth boxes only), and no AcroForm widgets at all — every field is a plain underlined blank or checkbox drawn as static page content, read from the PDF's own text layer and a high-resolution page render (Devanagari glyphs did not recover cleanly through direct text extraction due to a subsetted-font encoding issue, so the field labels, section structure, and the absence of any required-field marking convention were confirmed visually against a node-canvas render). Covers the applicant's own particulars (name, date of birth in parallel Bikram Sambat/Gregorian calendars, citizenship certificate basis and type, birthplace, permanent/temporary address, contact, caste/sex/religion/education/occupation/marital status), and, reflecting Nepali citizenship's descent-based legal basis, full name/citizenship/address blocks for the applicant's father and mother, name-only blocks for a grandfather and grandmother (the source does not specify paternal or maternal side for either), and a name/address block for a spouse. Thumbprint boxes and the applicant's handwritten signature are excluded as physical biometric/wet-ink capture, consistent with this registry's established treatment (its accompanying declaration date is retained); the verifying-officer block is excluded as staff-only office processing; the form's own required-documents checklist is excluded as informational text, not a field the applicant completes.

Field reference

72 fields, read from the published schema.json, with names, types, requiredness, and validation as the document states them. The live government form remains the authoritative source.

Fields

  • nationalIdentityNumber string optional

    A pre-existing National Identity Number, when one was already assigned to the applicant (e.g. at civil/citizenship registration) prior to this physical-card application. This form is explicitly restricted to applicants who have never previously received the physical National Identity Card (per the form's own declaration, "मैले यसअघि राष्ट्रिय परिचयपत्र लिएको छैन" / "I have not previously obtained a National ID Card"), so this value, when present, identifies a NIN issued independently of card issuance, not a prior card.

    classification: sensitive-pii
  • firstName string required

    First Name

    classification: pii
  • middleName string optional

    Middle Name

    classification: pii
  • lastName string required

    Last Name

    classification: pii
  • dateOfBirth date required

    Modelled as a single canonical ISO date. The form prints this date twice, in two parallel calendars, each as its own 8-box Year/Month/Day comb grid: वि.सं. (Bikram Sambat, the calendar in official use in Nepal) and Date of Birth (AD) (Gregorian) — a consuming agent completing the literal paper form is expected to derive both calendar representations from this one canonical value, consistent with this registry's treatment of parallel-calendar date pairs (e.g. `np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form`).

    classification: pii
  • citizenshipCertificateNumber string required

    Citizenship Certificate Number

    classification: sensitive-pii
  • citizenshipCertificateIssueDate string required

    An 8-digit Year/Month/Day comb grid, entered as digits (YYYYMMDD). Modelled as a free-form string rather than `type: date`: unlike the applicant's Date of Birth (which prints explicit वि.सं./AD calendar labels on parallel boxes), this box carries no calendar label at all, so the calendar it encodes (almost certainly Bikram Sambat, consistent with Nepali citizenship-certificate dating convention, but not confirmed by the form's own text) cannot be determined without fabricating an assumption the source does not support.

    classification: pii
  • citizenshipCertificateIssuingDistrict string required

    Citizenship Certificate Issuing District

    classification: pii
  • citizenshipType enum required

    Six checkboxes on the source, in this order: जन्मसिद्ध (by birth), जन्मको आधारमा (on the basis of birth), वंशज (by descent), सम्मानार्थ (honorary), अंगीकृत (naturalized), वैवाहिक अंगीकृत (naturalized by marriage).

    enum: by-birth | on-basis-of-birth | by-descent | honorary | naturalized | naturalized-by-marriageclassification: pii
  • placeOfBirth string required

    Place of Birth

    classification: pii
  • previousCitizenshipRenunciationDate string optional

    An 8-digit Year/Month/Day comb grid (YYYYMMDD), calendar unlabeled on the source. Conditioned in the source's own parenthetical on having previously held another country's citizenship ("पहिले अन्य देशको नागरिक भएमा"), but the form provides no separate boolean/checkbox for that condition to gate requiredness on, so it is modelled as unconditionally optional, consistent with this registry's treatment of similarly gated-by-prose-only fields (e.g. `ng/nimc/nin-enrolment-form`'s Section B).

    classification: pii
  • previousNationality string optional

    Previous Nationality (Country Name)

    A blank single-line box with no printed instruction key defining accepted values (contrast `np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form`'s "M for Male, F for Female" key for its own comb-box Sex field). Modelled as free text rather than a fabricated enum, since the source draws no distinction between this field and its neighbouring जात (caste) and धर्म (religion) free-text boxes.

The signature itself is excluded as a physical handwritten mark, consistent with this registry's established treatment of wet-ink signatures (e.g. `np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form`, `do/mirex/passport-application`); this accompanying date is retained since it is itself a distinct data value.

Why this schema and why now (GOV-3217, scouted from GOV-3212)

GOV-3212 ("GovSchema Standard Research") found Nepal at 2/6 verticals (Passport, Business Formation), with DMV and Taxes confirmed dead ends (DMV: fully gated behind applydlnew.dotm.gov.np's quota-based online portal, no static/manual fallback; Taxes: PAN registration is a pure online e-form via taxpayerportal.ird.gov.np, no static form found). Visa and National ID were open, unscreened backlog. This issue opens National ID via the Department of National ID and Civil Registration's (DoNIDCR) own National Identity Card application form.

Source

  • Content page: https://donidcr.gov.np/content/271/details-registration-application-form-for-national-identity/ — HTTP 200, no login/CAPTCHA/WAF. The PDF is not linked via any plain <a href> on this page; it is embedded through a flipbook viewer that reads a var pdf = '...' JavaScript string literal in the page's raw HTML. This was independently re-confirmed this cycle by fetching the page directly with curl and grepping its HTML source for the var pdf assignment, per the issue brief's own note.
  • Direct PDF: https://giwmscdnone.gov.np/media/pdf_upload/NID%20form%20eidited%20on%2077-6-7_rd2muyw.pdf
  • Retrieved: 2026-07-15, HTTP 200, application/pdf, 509,556 bytes — matching the issue brief's own recorded byte size exactly.
  • sha256: 122e2e6b04a64385b70e993aa0ecc9ba71d0fb15d28655691be019bb5052d6f6 — independently re-derived this cycle via a fresh curl fetch. The brief did not record a prior sha256 to cross-check against, so this is the first hash on record for this exact file.
  • Fetched directly, no login/CAPTCHA/WAF gate encountered at any point.
  • Genuine 2-page PDF with a real text layer (not scanned) and zero AcroForm widgets — every blank line, comb-style date grid, and checkbox is static page content the applicant marks by hand, not a fillable form field. Confirmed via pdfjs-dist (legacy/build/pdf.js, pinned 3.11.174): page.getAnnotations() returns an empty array on both pages; page.getTextContent() returns 500 text items on page 1 and 370 on page 2.
Confirmed dead end (not the source used)

enrollment.donidcr.gov.np, the department's online pre-enrollment/biometric portal, is login/biometric-gated with no field-by-field static fallback — independently re-confirmed this cycle, consistent with the issue brief. The paper application form above is the correct primary source.

Weaker candidates on the same domain (disclosed backlog, not used here)

Two other forms surfaced via the same JS-embedded-PDF delivery mechanism on donidcr.gov.np: a scanned "Card Replacement Form" (lost-card/details-change, thinner) and a scanned correction/rejection-handling form. Both are genuinely scanned raster PDFs (unlike this schema's genuine text-layer source) and are left as disclosed backlog for a future companion cycle, per the issue brief.

Extraction method: page render, not text extraction, for the primary-language content

Direct text extraction via pdfjs-dist cleanly recovers this form's small set of bilingual English labels ("First Name", "Middle Name", "Last Name", "Date of Birth (AD)", "NIN") verbatim, but its primary-language Devanagari (Nepali) text — the overwhelming majority of the form's content, including every section heading, field label, and checkbox caption — extracts as garbled, mismapped glyph sequences (e.g. राि Õů य प å रचयप ý), and pdfjs logs Warning: TT: undefined function: 32 while decoding the embedded font's glyph table. This is a font-encoding/glyph-mapping gap in the embedded TrueType font's character mapping, not a scanned-image gap — the text items are real, positioned, extractable strings; they just do not map to the correct Unicode code points through this font's own (apparently non-standard/incomplete) encoding.

Because of this, the full field list, section structure, and the presence or absence of any required-field marking convention were confirmed visually, from a node-canvas 3×-scale render of each full page (page.render() against a NodeCanvasFactory), followed by several 6×-scale targeted crops of every section on both pages specifically to rule out small printed asterisks or other requiredness markers that a lower-resolution render might miss. The Nepali label text quoted in fields[].sourceRef throughout this schema was transcribed directly from these renders, not from the garbled extracted text.

No required/optional convention on this source at all

Unlike this registry's other Nepal schemas — np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form's explicit * asterisk on every required field, and np/ocr/company-registration-private-ekal — a full-page 3×-scale render of both pages, plus a further series of 6×-scale crops covering every section (including the citizenship-type checkbox row, the address blocks, and the declaration/thumbprint/signature footer), found not one printed asterisk, bold marker, or other required-field convention anywhere on this two-page form.

Requiredness below is therefore a disclosed judgment call, not read directly off the source, anchored to the one piece of textual evidence the form does provide: its own "आवश्यक कागजातहरु" (required documents) checklist at the foot of page 2 lists six supporting documents, (क) through (च):

  • (क) नेपाली नागरिकताको प्रमाणपत्रको सक्कल — original of the Nepali citizenship certificate. No conditional qualifier.
  • (ख) बाबु/आमाको नागरिकताको प्रतिलिपि उपलब्ध भएसम्म — copy of father's/ mother's citizenship certificate, "as available" (उपलब्ध भएसम्म).
  • (ग) नागरिकताको प्रमाणपत्रमा जन्ममिति नखुलेको हकमा सो खुल्ने प्रमाण पत्र वा गाउँपालिका/नगरपालिकाको सिफारिस — "in case of" (हकमा) the citizenship certificate not showing a date of birth.
  • (घ) राहदानी लिएको भए सोको सक्कल वा प्रतिलिपि — "if" (भए) a passport was obtained.
  • (ङ) बसाईं-सराइ गरेकाहरुको हकमा बसाइसराई प्रमाणपत्र — "in case of" (हकमा) migration.
  • (च) विवाहितको हकमा नागरिकतामा पति/पत्नीको नाम उल्लेख नभएमा विवाह दर्ता प्रमाणपत्र अनिवार्य — "in case of" (हकमा) being married and "if not" (नभएमा) the spouse's name is on the citizenship certificate.

Item (क) is the only item with no conditional qualifier; every other item is explicitly conditional. Requiredness is modelled on this asymmetry: the applicant's own core identity and citizenship-basis data that item (क)'s unconditional document requirement implicates — firstName, lastName, dateOfBirth, placeOfBirth, citizenshipCertificateNumber, citizenshipCertificateIssueDate, citizenshipCertificateIssuingDistrict, citizenshipType — plus the applicant's own permanent address (permanentAddress*, the only location data every applicant must have; the form's temporary address block is explicitly gated "only if different", see below) are modelled required: true. Every other field — including sex, caste, religion, maritalStatus, occupation, educationalQualification, and the entire father/mother/grandparent/spouse blocks (whose own supporting documents are explicitly qualified "as available"/"in case of" in checklist items ख–च) — is modelled required: false.

This follows this registry's existing precedent for sources that provide no printed required/optional convention at all: md/asp/vehicle-registration disclosed a structural-necessity judgment call in the same situation, rather than either fabricating asterisks that are not there or defaulting every field to optional regardless of the source's own textual signals.

middleName is modelled optional despite being part of the applicant's own name, since Nepali given names commonly omit a middle name and the form treats First/Middle/Last identically (no distinguishing signal).

Date/calendar modelling

  • dateOfBirth: the form prints this date twice, in two parallel calendars, as two side-by-side 8-box Year/Month/Day comb grids — जन्म मिति (वि.सं.) (Bikram Sambat, the calendar in official use in Nepal) and "Date of Birth (AD)" (Gregorian). Modelled as one canonical ISO dateOfBirth (type: date), consistent with this registry's established parallel-calendar merge technique (np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form, th/mfa/passport-application-royal-thai-embassy-london).
  • citizenshipCertificateIssueDate (and the equivalent fatherCitizenshipCertificateIssueDate/motherCitizenshipCertificateIssueDate), and previousCitizenshipRenunciationDate: each an 8-box YYYYMMDD comb grid printed with no calendar label at all — no वि.सं. or AD marker anywhere near them, unlike Date of Birth. Modelled as free-form string fields (not type: date), disclosing rather than fabricating an assumed calendar; in practice these are almost certainly Bikram Sambat, consistent with standard Nepali citizenship-certificate dating convention, but the form's own text does not confirm this.
  • declarationDate: the date beside the applicant's handwritten signature on the declaration is a plain blank dotted line with no digit-box structure and no calendar label at all — modelled as a free-form string, the loosest of the three date-like treatments on this form, matching its own loosest visual structure.

sex, citizenshipType, maritalStatus

  • sex (लिङ्ग) is a blank single-line box with no printed instruction key defining accepted values, laid out identically to its neighbouring जात (caste) and धर्म (religion) free-text boxes. This contrasts with np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form's own Sex field, which carries an explicit "M for Male, F for Female" key. Modelled as free-text string, not a fabricated enum, since the source draws no distinction between this field and its visually identical neighbours that would justify treating it differently.
  • citizenshipType (नागरिकताको किसिम) and maritalStatus (वैवाहिक स्थिति) are modelled enum because the source itself draws that boundary with explicit checkboxes (6 and 3 respectively) — independent of, and using a different signal than, the requiredness judgment call above (both remain required: false, since neither is implicated by checklist item (क)). citizenshipType's six checkboxes, in source order: जन्मसिद्ध (by birth), जन्मको आधारमा (on the basis of birth), वंशज (by descent), सम्मानार्थ (honorary), अंगीकृत (naturalized), वैवाहिक अंगीकृत (naturalized by marriage) — mapped to by-birth, on-basis-of-birth, by-descent, honorary, naturalized, naturalized-by-marriage.

Grandparent sections carry no paternal/maternal qualifier

The source labels sections 7 and 8 only "हजुरबुबाको विवरण" (Grandfather's details) and "हजुरआमाको विवरण" (Grandmother's details) — a targeted crop of both headings found no "बाबुतर्फको"/"आमातर्फको" (paternal-side/maternal-side) qualifier anywhere near either one. Modelled as plain grandfather/ grandmother name-only fields (First/Middle/Last name, matching the source's own field set for these two sections exactly) rather than fabricating a side the source does not state.

guardianName

"पितृत्वको ठेगान नभएको हकमा संरक्षकको नाम" — "in case there is no trace/record of paternity, name of the guardian" — modelled as a plain optional string, provided in place of the father's details when the applicant's paternal lineage cannot be established. The form has no boolean field indicating whether a given applicant is in this situation, so it is not gated with requiredWhen against the father's-details fields.

Address blocks gated "only if different" have no boolean to condition on

The form's own instruction for the applicant's temporary address ("स्थायी ठेगाना भन्दा फरक भएमा मात्र भर्नुहोस्" — "fill in only if different from the permanent address") and, separately, for each of the father's, mother's, and spouse's address blocks ("आवेदकको ठेगाना भन्दा फरक ठेगाना भएमा मात्र भर्नुहोस्" — "fill in only if different from the applicant's address") each describe a conditional in prose, but none of the four blocks has an accompanying Yes/No checkbox or other boolean field on the source to key a requiredWhen condition off of. All four blocks (temporaryAddress*, fatherAddress*, motherAddress*, spouseAddress*) are therefore modelled as unconditionally optional, consistent with this registry's treatment of similarly prose-only-gated fields elsewhere (e.g. ng/nimc/nin-enrolment-form's Section B, gated only by a section heading with no boolean trigger).

No photo field

Unlike this registry's passport schemas (e.g. np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form, au/apo/passport-application-first-adult), this form has no photo-attachment box of any kind — confirmed by grepping both pages' extracted text for "फोटो"/"Photo" (zero matches) in addition to the visual render. Consistent with National ID photograph/biometric capture happening live at the DoNIDCR enrollment counter rather than via a photo submitted with the paper application.

Excluded as out of scope

Consistent with this registry's established treatment of biometric/wet-ink capture on print-and-fill government forms (np/dop/mrp-offline-application-form, do/mirex/passport-application, il/mot/medical-examination-driving-license-renewal):

  • औंठाको छाप (Thumbprint), Right (दायाँ) and Left (बायाँ) — physical biometric capture, excluded outright.
  • निवेदकको दस्तखतः (Applicant's Signature) — a physical handwritten signature mark, excluded outright. Its accompanying date is retained as declarationDate, since that date is itself a distinct data value, not a physical mark.
  • रुजु गर्ने अधिकारीः (Verifying Officer) — position/signature/date block, department-staff attestation performed after submission, not applicant-supplied data.
  • आवश्यक कागजातहरु (Required Documents), items (क)–(च) — informational text describing what supporting documents to attach; the source provides no checkbox or blank alongside any list item, so this is not itself a field the applicant completes (it is, however, the basis for the requiredness judgment call above).
  • The form's title, salutation ("श्रीमान् महानिर्देशकज्यू..."), subject line, and declaration prose ("मैले माथि उल्लेख गरेको व्यहोरा साँचो हो...") are boilerplate, not data fields.

Conformance

An ephemeral, from-scratch conformance checker (deriving required/enum rules directly from this schema's own fields[], discarded after use, not committed) ran the following fixtures in conformance/np/donidcr/national-identity-card-application/1.0.0/:

  • valid-full-application.json (all 13 required fields, plus the large majority of optional fields including full father/mother/grandparent/spouse blocks, populated) — 0 errors.
  • valid-minimal-required-only.json (only the 13 required fields populated) — 0 errors.
  • mutation-control-missing-required-field.json (drops lastName) — exactly 1 error.
  • mutation-control-invalid-enum-citizenship-type.json (citizenshipType set to foreign-born, not in the enum) — exactly 1 error.
  • mutation-control-invalid-enum-marital-status.json (maritalStatus set to engaged, not in the enum) — exactly 1 error.
  • mutation-control-invalid-date-format.json (dateOfBirth set to a non-ISO string) — exactly 1 error.

This schema has no requiredWhen rules — every conditionally-worded field on the source lacks a boolean to key a condition on, as discussed above — and no required documents[] entries, so no fixtures target those.

Structural validation

  • node tools/validate.mjs — full registry, 489/489 document(s) passed after adding this document (3/3 mapping.json companions also passed).
  • node tools/validate-ajv.mjs (ajv 2020-12 against spec/v0.3) — full registry, 489/489 document(s) validated (3/3 mapping.json companions also validated).
  • npm run build-index re-run in tools/govschema-client/ to regenerate registry-index.json with this document included.

Maturity

structural-reference: every field traces to a specific labelled blank, comb grid, or checkbox visually confirmed on a high-resolution render of the genuine, currently-served official form, but no live filing at a DoNIDCR office was attempted.
