USPC Plans to Print Land Titles, Ballot Papers and Other Government Documents

What the report says

Uganda Security Printing Company Limited (USPC) says it plans to broaden its work beyond national identity cards and begin producing other sensitive government documents locally, including land titles, educational certificates and ballot papers. The announcement was made at the My Identity Expo and Symposium 2026 at Kololo Airstrip in Kampala, according to Nile Post.

USPC Management Coordinator Hajj Sulaiman Nsubuga said the company has already printed 24 million national ID cards for the National Identification and Registration Authority. He said the next phase would focus on documents that require high security and confidentiality, with the aim of reducing Uganda’s dependence on foreign printers. He also said the company hopes to eventually expand into printing currency, though that appears to be a longer-term ambition rather than an immediate plan.

Nsubuga said infrastructure work at USPC’s facility in Entebbe has been completed and that the remaining step is installing the specialized equipment needed for production. The company says the expansion is expected to support local jobs and build Ugandan expertise in security printing technology.

USPC is a government-majority company with ownership split between Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation and German security-technology firms. More broadly, the move fits into Uganda’s push to strengthen local capacity for secure document production, a goal that can affect identity systems, land administration and election materials.
