Registering for new ID cards has not started

The Electoral Department has advised that it has not started the process of registering members of the public for new Identification Cards (ID), as is being suggested in a message being circulated via WhatsApp.

Chief Electoral Officer, Angela Taylor, said that as the Electoral Department continues to ready itself for the roll-out, a small pilot project was recently done to ensure that the quality of the ID photograph meets the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standard.

Mrs. Taylor stressed that the public will be advised in advance through Government’s communications channels, including social media, and the traditional media, about the registration dates, times, places and the required documents, when that time comes.(BGIS)
