You need a ZamPass Account to use our Services. You may create your own ZamPass Account, or it may be created and assigned to you by an administrator, such as your employer. If you are using a ZamPass Account assigned to you by an administrator, different or additional terms may apply, and your administrator may be able to access or disable your account.

To protect your ZamPass Account, keep your password confidential. You are responsible for the activity that happens on or through your ZamPass Account. Try not to reuse your ZamPass Account password on third-party websites/applications.

To create a ZamPass Account, you are asked to Register and provide a set of identification data, including personal data. You should provide only your data or data that you are legally empowered/entitled to provide.

You can create a ZamPass Account for your personal use, whether you are a Zambian citizen or not, or you can create a ZamPass Account for an organization you are empowered to represent. In all cases, to create a ZamPass Account, you need to provide the following set of data:

  • 1) ID (NRC – for residents, Organization Registration Number / ID – for Legal Entities or Username - for foreigners)

Before submitting the registration form, you need to set a password for your account which is created. The password you choose must respect the standard guidelines to set a strong password and protect your account.

You are also required to set a PIN for your digital signature certificate, which is used to sign electronic documents. You can use it when necessary, just remember it and keep it safe. For security purposes, please, avoid setting the PIN which is identic to the profile password.
