Description

The Directorate of Immigration and Emigration, an organ of the Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Communities (MICT), has just equipped the border posts of the Republic of Haiti of new computer equipment intended to ensure better control of the authenticity of travel documents. These new machines, which were put into service on October 27, 2020, will now be able to take biometric data from passengers, such as facial recognition and fingerprint verification, and transmit them instantly to the central server.

Port-au-Prince, le 29 octobre 2020.- La Direction de l’Immigration et de l’Emigration, organe du Ministère de l’Intérieur et des Collectivités Territoriales (MICT), vient de doter les postes frontières de la République d’Haïti de nouveaux équipements informatiques destinés à assurer un meilleur contrôle de l’authenticité des documents de voyage. Ces nouvelles machines mises en service le 27 octobre 2020, permettront dorénavant de prendre des données biométriques des passagers, telles la reconnaissance faciale et la vérification des empreintes digitales et de les transmettre instantanément au serveur central. 2

These measures, which meet the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), put Haiti at the same level of international security standard as other countries in the region and in the world, according to the details of Minister Audain Fils BERNADEL.
It should be noted that, connected to internal databases and those of the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), this equipment will be used to identify and prohibit access to the country to criminals, terrorists or any other persons actively sought by police authorities around the world.

Ces dernières dispositions technologiques ont été présentées officiellement à la presse au cours d’une conférence donnée par le titulaire du MICT et les hauts responsables de la DIE, au siège central de la Direction de l’Immigration et de l’Émigration, le mardi 27 octobre. En cette occasion, le Ministre de l’Intérieur et des Collectivités Territoriales, M. Audain Fils BERNADEL, s’est félicité de cette avancée qui contribuera certainement à renforcer la sécurité du territoire à travers les frontières haïtiennes. Ces mesures qui répondent aux exigences de l’Organisation de l’Aviation Civile Internationale (OACI), mettent Haïti au même niveau de standard international de sécurité que les autres pays de la région et du monde, selon les précisions du Ministre Audain Fils BERNADEL.
A noter que, connectés aux bases de données internes et celles de l’organisation Internationale de la Police Criminelle (INTERPOL), ces équipements serviront à identifier et interdire l’accès au pays à des criminels, des terroristes ou toutes autres personnes activement recherchées par les instances policières à travers le monde. 2
