Mildrède Béliard, the Director of Communication and Cooperation of the National Office of Identification (ONI), has been on a mission to the United States since Wednesday to carry out a preliminary assessment for the implementation of a program for the registration of the Diaspora Haitians in the Civil Registry so that they can obtain their National Identification Cards (CIN) and renew the CINs which expire on 31 December 2017.

During her mission, she will also meet with Diplomatic Representatives and members of the community to discuss with them the best strategy to set up by November the offices of renewal of the CIN issued between 2005 and 2007.

In New York Béliard was received by the Consul General of Haiti Wilson Grégoire Brutus who is very interested and very concerned by this program to which he has already dedicated a space and made all the necessary arrangements to facilitate the technical operations in order to make this service operational as quickly as possible for the Haitian diaspora in New York. After New York, Béliard went to Washington and then to Florida.

ONI reminds Haitian citizens that the National Identification Card is compulsory among other things to obtain a passport, carry out banking transactions, take legal actions, buy property, work in a public or private institution...
