The importance of customer identity verification is an issue closely linked with the registration of prepaid SIM cards \u2013 which is now mandatory in a number of countries. The availability and quality of a country\u2019s citizen identity records has a huge role to play in the successful adoption and implementation of prepaid SIM registration regulations. Accurate identity verification is also imperative if governments consider introducing e-commerce and e-government services.
