Central Electoral Board Administrative Chamber president Roberto Rosario is in favor of limiting the validity of the personal identification card, called the "cedula", issued to foreigners, to the same timeframe covered by the holder's Residence Permit.
Judge Rosario acknowledged that the JCE has had a series of difficulties with the process of providing these identification cards to foreigners and this is shown by the emission of 65 false identity cards that were discovered and sent to the Commission of Cancelled and Invalidated Cards.
Rosario expressed this opinion in reply to a question by Listin Diario reporter Wanda Mendez about the recommendation made by the departments of Inspection and Security of the JCE for the expiration dates of the personal identity card and the Residence visa to fall two months apart.
Rosario reported that the Administrative Chamber would send the proposal to the Ministry of the Interior and Police and the Immigration Department. "This month we will finish a series of internal discussions with our officials and with Interior and Police and Immigration officials in order to get a general position on this issue, both for people with provisional residence and those who have permanent residence..."
Rosario also estimated that before the month is over the collection of biometric information would have reached 10% of the citizens, "which means we can say that the project is going well."
