The system ‘Citizenship Information Management Card System’ provides information about citizens
within a country. The issue of multiple identification card and problem of identification has caused
several organisation to have a means of identifying their client and staff. However, this conceptual study
proposed a system that generates a unique citizen Identification that finds the personal information of
individuals in each and every department or services. This information can be queried with the unique
Identification of the citizen. Presently, citizens utilize the services and utilities of the Government or
Private organizations by going with a particular Identification of that department. Instead, a citizenship
information management card system helps in having all the utilities and services under one unique
Identification. The use of Information Technology to achieving the said system needs proper design and
effective implementation by allowing a flexibility for the citizens, and the importance of the system that
allows citizens with the easy access to necessary services. This conceptual study uses the first stage of
system development as a method for this study to which requirement analysis was carried out and
information gathering of the existing system was conducted. The system will allow citizens, government
and corporate organization the ease to verify information and allow easy access to service with less effort,
using concept of distributed computing which allows interactive devices and interface at both ends. This
