Code of Practice for the Registration of Mobile Prepaid Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Cards (Mobile Prepaid SIM Cards Registration Code)

The Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI) has introduced the Code of Practice for the Registration of Mobile Prepaid Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Cards  which takes effect from 4 September 2024.

The Code of Practice mandates the compulsory recording of subscriber details by the licensed Mobile Service Providers and its authorised agents/resellers, which therefore requires:

  1. Mobile prepaid SIM card users or subscribers to ensure that accurate personal details, such as full name, IC number, and address, are provided for proper identification.

  2. Subscribers to inform their mobile service providers of any change in ownership of a mobile prepaid SIM card that are registered under their name. The service provider will then update the records accordingly and register the SIM card under the new subscriber’s name.

If the current subscriber of a mobile prepaid SIM card cannot be contacted, the service provider will require evidence, such as documentation or other data, to confirm the transfer of ownership from the existing subscriber to the new one.
