IPPIS: What are the required documents for enrolment

• Officer having concluded the self-service enrollment on the project portal, a summary slip would be generated for the officer to be endorsed by appropriate officials of the MDA in duplicate copies. The officer would keep one while the MDA would keep one for the enrollment
• The officer must present himself physically for biometric data capturing where the facial picture would be taken (religious inclination of female staff is recognized where only the face is taken without requesting for the ears women in puddah (nikaf) would be required to be taken in private by a female official of the project consultants/federal documents civil service commission)
• The following documents would be scanned into the IPPIS application:
    (i) The self generated and duly signed IPPIS Summary sheet;
   (ii) Staff letter/gazette of first appointment – new employer need to submit evidence of assumption (if any)
    (iii) Letter of last promotion (if any) ;
    (Iv) Birth certificate/affidavit of declaration of age (not newly done).
• Your ten finger impression would be taken as well as your facial picture which will be stored on the IPPIS application without which your salary would not be processed

Why do you require all these documents?

The document would become a permanent record in the IPPIS application for future reference and the staff would not be able to change these at will. This is also to avoid falsification of record in the future.
