More than two million newly issued national identity papers were entered into database over the past two weeks, Afghanistan's Central Civil Registration Authority said Thursday.


AVA- The nation-wide campaign to distribute ID papers had been organized in preparations for parliamentary and district council elections due to be held in October. Nearly five million such documents were distributed in the campaign.
Humayoun Muhtat, head of ACCRA, said that the campaign did not cover 30 districts due to security reasons.
The official said that most of the register books had been transported from provinces to capital Kabul. According to the official, getting the ID papers details into database would help remove fake papers.
