- Ensuring accuracy of the data captured with regards to the designated goAML Web Platform users.
- Preventing the occurence of the goAML Web Platform breaches through false access therefore enhancing the platform security.
- Carrying out the necessary due dilligence in reference to tagging the Original National Identity Card to the person presenting it.
