Friday, June 12, 2026 (Nokinketer News): The Home Department, Government of Nagaland on 25th May, 2026 has issued a notification detailing the step-by-step process for Self-Enumeration (SE) under Phase-I of Census 2027. The online self-enumeration period will be conducted from June 16 to June 30, 2026, ahead of the House-to-House Houselisting Operations (HLO). Citizens and government officials have been encouraged to complete the process accurately within the notified 15-day period.

Self-Enumeration allows residents to submit household data online through https://se.census.gov.in . The process takes approximately 15–20 minutes, and successful submission generates a unique 11-digit Self-Enumeration ID (SE ID) prefixed with “H”.

According to the guidelines, users must first access the portal, select Nagaland from the dropdown menu, enter the captcha, and register the household using the name of the Head of Household and a mobile number. An email address may also be provided for receiving the SE ID.

After selecting a preferred language and verifying the registered mobile number through OTP, users must enter residence details, including district, village/town, locality, and nearby landmark. They are then required to pinpoint the exact location of their residence on a digital map using an interactive marker.

Applicants must complete the Houselisting and Housing Census questionnaire, using the available notes, tooltips, and FAQs for guidance. The system allows users to review entries, edit information, and save drafts before final submission.

Once satisfied, users must click “Final Submit”, after which no further edits can be made except by the Enumerator. The generated SE ID will be displayed on-screen and sent via SMS and email (if provided). Provision has also been made for retrieval of the SE ID later through the registered mobile number. The last date of submission will be displayed on the marquee in all pages. If not finally submitted before the state/UTs closing date, the Self Enumeration will not be considered complete.

During the Enumerator’s field visit, households must provide their SE ID for validation. If the ID matches the data available on the Enumerator’s device, the self-enumerated data will be accepted. If not, household details will be collected afresh.

The Government stated that the detailed User Guide and Flow Chart have been enclosed to facilitate accurate and seamless participation in the Census 2027 Self-Enumeration process.
