The first National Identification System NIDS pilot enrolment site is scheduled to be established in Kingston and St. Andrew by August 2022.
Being implemented by the Office of the Prime Minister, NIDS is intended to provide a comprehensive and secure structure to enable the collection and storage of identity information.
Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister, Floyd Green, gave an update on the NIDS project during his contribution to the 2022/2023 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
Mr. Green said that five additional enrolment pilot sites are to be set up in Kingston and St. Andrew before the end of the year.
The Minister said it is expected that by mid-2023, all other parish capitals will have enrolment sites.
