Prime Minister Andrew Holness officially launched the National Identification System’s (NIDS) ‘Operation Birthright’ Project at Jamaica House, in Kingston, on Friday (September 9) The US$350,000 Government project intends to address the immediate concern among Jamaicans who are without birth certificates. The initiative will provide identity registration support for the birth certificate, specifically to needy children and adults without legal and physical identification documents. With a birth certificate in hand, these persons will be better able to access Government and business services.
