Dominican Republic Haitian IDs only for adults 02-20-02
Diario Libre reports that the Haitian government will be issuing identity
papers only to those who they are sure are Haitians. The fact that most
Haitians in Haiti and the DR do not have any identification papers has
created major problems for local authorities, as these people are in a kind
of legal limbo. Haitian ambassador Guy Alexander said nevertheless that
children born in the DR to undocumented Haitians would not be given Haitian
identification papers. The Haitian government wants them to be registered as
Dominican citizens.
