For a smooth transition, the government stated that the diaspora would have the ability to shift to e-passports at their nearest embassies. Minister for National Security Rayburn Blackmoore stated that permanent offices are established in New York, United Arab Emirates, and London. He said Dominicans residing in other destinations can also apply for their E-Passports. "The permanent locations will not be issuing passports in these locations, but the information will be instantaneously sent to the centralized Immigration Department in Roseau, and all passports will be issued by the centralized location", said Minister Blackmoore. The National Security Minister said the entire system is locked by way of two keys, the Commissioner of Police and the Head of Immigration. Minister asked the people to remain calm and ensured that every person would get their passports processed within the given time frame. The new electronic chip-enabled passports are designed by the Canadian Bank Note Company and are fully secure for use.Latest
