# ID Lifecycle Management

## Overview

Identity Lifecycle Management refers to **issuing and managing user identities** in a given system. An individual can visit a registration centre to get a new ID or update their ID details. A registration officer would typically capture the individual’s demographic (name, date of birth, gender, etc.) and biometric (face, iris, and fingerprint image) details.

The lifecycle of an identity involves multiple events, categorized into different stages, each managed within specific system **modules**. The following sections outline these **key lifecycle events**, detailing their roles and functions categorized under relevant modules.\
