Gov’t Close to NIDS National Rollout

The Government is close to islandwide rollout of the National Identification System (NIDS).

Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, made the announcement as he officially launched the NIDS Technical Pilot at Jamaica Post Central Sorting Office in Kingston, on Tuesday (December 13).

The Card Personalisation Centre, situated at that location, was also opened.

NIDS, an electronic form of identification, will provide a comprehensive and secure database for capturing and storing the personal information of citizens and non-nationals ordinarily residing in Jamaica.

Mr. Holness said the NIDS will be rolled out in various phases, with the technical pilot implementation being the first, “after which we will commence a national rollout all across Jamaica”.
