# ID Lifecycle Management
Managing identities seamlessly.
## 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.\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.mosip.io/1.2.0/id-lifecycle-management.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
