Pre-registration User Guide

Overview

This guide helps in understanding the pre-registration sample UI implementation. The pre-registration portal can be used in self-service as well as in assisted mode.

Self-service mode- In this mode, residents can pre-register themselves by accessing the pre-registration portal. They can login with their email address or phone number and fill up the demographic form, upload relevant documents to book an appointment for themselves and their family/friends. Finally, they would receive an acknowledgement along with a pre-registration ID that can be used at the registration center.

Assisted mode- When used in an assisted mode, the operator could be handling the portal and helping other residents in filling up the details and creating an application on their behalf. The languages that the operator and the resident understands, may or may not be the same. If we consider a country with linguistic diversity, the possibilities increase. In such cases, the operator might log in with a language that they are familiar with, and also select a language (data capture language) familiar to the resident for filling up the demographic form and other details.

Pre-registration process

The key steps in this process are:

  • Login/create a user account

  • Create an application
