Informed Minds Prefer The Standard
The Standard Group Plc is a

print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.

Consolidating this information with our driving licences, passports, KRA PIN, NHIF and NSSF cards then generates the unique identification Huduma Namba.
