Recommendation
"The process of modernizing the civil registry in Haiti was launched on 14 November 2012. To that end, the National Registry Office has already taken steps to improve the process of issuing national identity cards and set itself the aim of ensuring that citizens are registered at birth. It has also launched a programme, in partnership with the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour, to ensure that schoolchildren are provided with identity cards. Other measures have been adopted, including the appointment of clerks in the sections communales and the issuance of guidance documents to registrars. Moreover, in May 2013, the National Archives set up a mechanism to make it easier for members of the Haitian diaspora to obtain civil status records.
An order was issued on 8 January 2014 to enable citizens without a birth certificate to obtain one by 2019
