May 2000 establishing implementing measures for Law No 62-64   15.02.2001 Decree No. 2001-103 of 15 February 2001 creating the National Identification Office     03.01.2002 13.06.2002 Law No. 2002-03 of 3 January 2002 relative to the Identification of Persons and to the Stay of Foreigners in Côte d’Ivoire and abrogating Law No. 98-448  Decree No. 2002-331 of 13 June 2002 establishing conditions for obtaining national ID cards and their format requirements      temporary identification program based on highly discretionary and nativist principles. As a baseline, anyone wishing to obtain a national ID card must submit a complete file including: birth certificate; ID cards of at least one parent or a naturalization decree if relevant; and a nationality certificate among other documents. Those who did not possess a birth certificate or proof of the Ivorian nationality of one of their parents could go to their village of birth or their “village of origin” to obtain a national ID card by appearing before mobile identification teams with two witnesses attesting to their identity and nationality to obtain a national ID card. This system was never implemented in practice. Replaced the CNIS with a new institution, the Office Nationale d’Identification (ONI), or National Identification Office. ONI was granted responsibility over a wide range of tasks, including delivering identity documents to nationals and foreigners; reorganizing and managing the civil status system, and tracking immigration and emigration of populations. Note that the grant of responsibility to the ONI to oversee the civil status system contradicts the Civil Status Law, which places supervisory authority over civil status matters in the court system (Article 12, Civil Status Law). For Ivorian nationals: confirmed that Ivorians are to obtain national ID cards according to procedures established by decree. For foreigners: reinstated the use of the term “residency cards” (carte de séjour) for all foreigners, including ECOWAS citizens. Tensions and resentments concerning the cartes de séjour were a major preoccupation in the political negotiations at Linas-Marcoussis. One of the annexes to that agreement called for the immediate suppression of these residency cards. Replaced proof requirements established by Decree No. 2000-419. Eliminated requirement to produce nationality certificates and allowed identification agents to distinguish between:  “Ivorians of origin,” who would only need to proffer a birth certificate and a green national ID card if they had one to obtain a CNI; and  “adopted Ivorians,” which does not refer to adopted children, but rather to those who acquired Ivorian nationality through naturalization, who were required to produce a naturalization decree to obtain a CNI; those or who acquired Ivorian nationality through marriage, who were required to produce proof of marriage pursuant to civil status laws. Created a new national ID card of an orange color to distinguish it from the yellow cards under HouphouëtBoigny and the green cards since Bédié’s time. 76
