MP Committee: Digital ID to End Line Registration Issues
The article discusses the efforts of the Egyptian government and the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to address the issue of mobile phone lines registered in the names of individuals without their knowledge since 2017. These efforts include implementing electronic verification procedures and launching the My NTRA application, which allows citizens to verify the numbers registered in their names. The introduction of the eKYC digital identity system during this month represents the final step to ensure complete identity verification of users before new lines are activated, thereby reducing the potential for forgery and illegal registrations. The report clarifies that having a line registered in a person's name does not automatically make them responsible for its use in crimes unless they are in possession of or under their control of the device. It emphasizes the vital role of companies and distributors in regulating registration processes. Additionally, it confirms that the controversy regarding lines registered in citizens' names without their knowledge involves legal investigations, and that legal responsibility pertains only to the possession and use of the line, not its registration. The authorities continue to develop regulations to ensure the safety and transparency of telecommunications services.
