‼️Protecting Operator Cards from fraud.

A growing concern is candidates sharing images of their NPORS Operator Cards online. Although this is often done with good intent - and we love that operators are proud of their NPORS Card - once a card image is posted publicly it becomes accessible to anyone and may be misused.

To protect personal information and reduce the risk of fraud or identity misuse, we urge operators not to upload images of their NPORS Cards to social media or other public platforms.
