Minister Daryl Vaz says his ministry is playing its part in ensuring an early introduction of the National Identification and Registration Act, 2021 (NIDS Bill) in the new year. According to Vaz, his ministry has issued the notice requested for December 1, when the first information commissioner for the long-delayed National Identification System, Celia Barclay, took office. NIDS will provide a comprehensive and secure structure to enable the collection and storage of identity information for all Jamaicans, on a voluntary basis.
