The current political situation may be cause for panic as the problem for election in Haiti can not be resolved between the Government of Michel Martelly and the opposition. However, the Haitian Diaspora is getting closer and closer to become a determining factor in the next election in Haiti.

Haiti is moving forward with the plan to have all its citizens counted and to give them the right to vote, no matter where they are. It is in the same concept that the actual government has decided to create this new ID office in the Diaspora for Haitians.

As was promised early last month, an ID office has been set up were Haitians living in the U.S. can go to receive their national identification cards. Located in the consolute for Haiti in Miami, the office will begin operations in December and will issue cards that will serve for 10 years. These cards will have a specific number assigned, just as in the case of the Social Security number, and will afford diaspora members a chance to stay active in the future of their homeland.

The Haitian government finally has decided to make a headcount of all its citizens. It will soon proceed in the distribution of 2 million birth certificate forms to allow all Haitian citizens without a birth certificate to obtain one. The government will provide this service free of charge. This was made possible, thanks to a Presidential Decree made to address the problem of Haitians without a Birth Certificate in the country

Mezanmi, sanble bagay fo laj prale fini an Ayiti.

Afè lè ke yo mande ou laj ou pou kommance konte kombyen rekot kafe ou te ouè, Gouvenman Ayisyen-a vle mete yon prin final nan sa. Trè byentom Gouvenman sa aprale fè distribisyon 2 milyon fòm batistè. Fòm sa yo aprale pèmèt tout sitwayen san batistè jwenn batistè vit epi gratis.

Se yon Dekrè ke Prezidan Michel Martelly passe. Ministè a raple ke anba dekrè sa a, nenpòt moun ki pa janm te gen yon batistè, gen yon peryòd de senk (5) ane pou yo jwein batistè.

Bagay sa kapab rezoud problem

Issued upon maturity at age 18 to all Haitians, the National Identification Card is a non-transferable paper that is acceptable nationwide and has an official status. This personal ID card is mainly for identification and is a right of each Haitian. Flaws in the system have made it so that many Haitians are still without their National ID's. Persons wishing to gain their identification papers should contact the National Identification Office, the organization tasked with registering Haitian citizens.
