 ABSTRACT
The Project ‘Citizen Card System’ gives us the
information about the citizen in any country. A Citizen has
unique Id to find out the personal information in each and
every department or service wherever a citizen goes. This
information can be found out by the unique Id of the citizen.
If any citizen wants to utilize the services or utilities by the
Government or Private organizations, he has to go to each and
every department with different Id for that particular
department. Instead, a citizen card helps in having all the
utilities and services under one unique Id. This system not
only helps us to know the information about the services or
utilities but also it gives the information about the character of
the citizen in credit rating.

1. INTRODUCTION

A Citizen Card (also called Identification or ID) is any proof which may
be used to verify aspects of a person's personal Identification. If issued in the
form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it is usually called an identity
card (IC). In some countries the possession of a governmentproduced
identity card is compulsory while in others it may be voluntary. In countries
which do not have formal identity documents, informal ones may in some
circumstances be required. Many organizations need to be sure of your age
or identity. Using a Citizen Card is voluntary, but it can make life much
easier. Even if you have a passport or driving license, Citizen Card means
you can leave these more valuable documents safely at home. Using a
Citizen Card means that you can access the products and services to which
you are entitled. Most shops, pubs, clubs, airlines (domestic flights) and
other organizations recognize Citizen Card as valid photo-ID or proof-of-
age. As a scheme audited by the Trading Standards Institute Citizen Card
was the first scheme to carry PASS (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
accreditation, supported by the Home Office.

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

The Project ‘Citizen Card System’ gives us the information about
the citizen in any country. A Citizen has unique Id to find out the
personal information in each and every department or service wherever
a citizen goes. This information can be found out by the unique Id of the
citizen. If any citizen wants to utilize the services or utilities by the
Government or Private organizations, he has to go to each and every
department with different Id for that particular department. Instead, a
citizen card helps in having all the utilities and services under one
unique Id. This system not only helps us to know the information about
the services or utilities but also it gives the information about the
character of the citizen in credit rating.

1.2 PROBLEM IN EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system is a manual or semi-automated system, i.e.,

citizen information in the country can be stored in the form of Books or
thin databases like Ms excel etc. The major problem of this information
is data can be stored in various formats, sometimes it may be changed
between states in the country. Another tedious problem is searching the
information of a citizen, it is not an easy thing to find out of citizen
information like India. Sharing data from one department to another
1
 department is not possible; it may cause lot of delay because data is not
centralized.
● It has been argued that identity cards impose a disproportionate
burden upon both government and citizens while empowering the
executive, which is contrary to the maxim: "the government that
governs best governs least".
● In many cases, other forms of documentation such as a driver's
license, passport, or Issuing Credit card serve a similar function for that
identify a citizen through manually system is a tedious process.
● The cost of introducing and administering a Citizen Card System
can be very high.
● Age, address, personal details verification of a citizen is not that
much of easier.
● Observing that illegal immigration into the country was posing a
serious threat to national security, a high-powered government
committee has strongly recommended a unique identity card for citizens
is compulsory.
● The recommendation assumes significance amidst reports of a
large number of Bangladeshi immigrants and terrorists sneaking into the
country from across the borders.

1.3 SOLUTION OF THESE PROBLEMS

The Citizen Card is treated as Official ID and proof-of-age for
anyone resident in Country. This Card is recommended by Trading
Standards, the Police, and shops, pubs, local authorities, schools, MPs
and many other organizations. By Citizen Card System we can solve
major problems
1) Stop Infiltration
2) Easy Identification of Person
3) Stop corruption
4) Stop Tax Evasion
5) Maintain the history of every person

1.4 PROPOSED SYSTEM

 Identity verification in banks or at national borders with a
standard Citizen card would be simpler than with a physically
bulky passport, especially if banks don't accept residents having
foreign passports.
 Eligibility or ownership verification would be facilitated (for
example, when paying with a credit card or cheque, or attempting
to buy age-restricted products).

2
 False identification may be reduced where identity cards are
required to access a bank account. Of course, phishing and many
other forms of identity theft will be unaffected.
 Citizen Cards can be a useful administrative tool that can increase
efficiency in dealings with both the government and private
companies.
 Cards may help reduce immigration service bureaucracy. In
certain countries, the procedures for deporting illegal immigrants
whose ages, identities or nationalities cannot be formally
established are more complex than those for whom they can be
readily asserted. This gives illegal immigrants more time to
prepare their legal defence.
 In many countries ID Cards are given only to citizens, these can
be a source of pride since they are often the most tangible proof
of citizenship.
 Commercial organizations such as banks typically do not try to
authenticate the identity of a person, but rather the validity of a
transactions (e.g. by signature or PIN) due to the acknowledged
difficulty in reliably identifying an individual in a fraud proof and
convenient manner.
 And the Citizen Card System database that exhaustively covers
the whole population is perhaps the only way of ensuring a direct
two-way interaction between the state and the citizen; as the
unique Citizen ID is necessary for the state and its agencies to
correctly identify the unique individual on the other end.
 In other words, there will continue to be a passport database with
the external affairs ministry, a PAN database with the finance
ministry, a terrorist database with the home ministry, a BPL
database with the state governments, the election commission's
voters database, and so on. Each of these databases will
eventually have one more piece of information -- the Citizen Id
number.

● By verifying this information administrator can assign a new citizen card and
provide Citizen Code to them.

Web Registration

6
 The system has a process of registration. Every Group Member or Non-
Govt. Officials need to submit their complete details in the form of registration.
Whenever a member registration completed administrator need to approve the
registration. Then only a member can get log in into the system by using his
user id and password.

Web Service Architecture

In this system we can check the user credentials by using Login Web
services, while getting Citizen Code the administrator uses the Citizen Code
web services which can be implemented by the system.

5. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

It has been a great pleasure for me to work on this exciting and challenging
project. This project proved good for me as it provided practical knowledge of
not only programming in ASP.NET and C#.Net web based application and no
some extent Windows Application and SQL Server, but also about all
handling procedure related with “Citizen Card System”. It also provides
knowledge about the latest technology used in developing web enabled
application and client server technology that will be great demand in future.
This will provide better opportunities and guidance in future in developing
projects independently.

FUTURE IMPROVEMENT

● It can be implemented to upload files with an huge amount of size with

the support of various file formats.

● This System being web-based and an undertaking of Cyber Security

Division, needs to be thoroughly tested to find out any security gaps.

● A console for the data centre may be made available to allow the
personnel to monitor on the sites which were cleared for hosting during a
particular period.

● Moreover, it is just a beginning; further the system may be utilized in

various other types of auditing operation viz. Network auditing or similar
process/workflow-based applications...
