Stressing the need to seek solutions to difficulties arising from the judgment of the Constitutional Court, José Miguel Insulza said he was convinced that this regularization law paves the way for the people concerned to find a place in the Dominican society.

Note that on the ground the way towards integration in Dominican society, proves to be a true course of the combatant for Haitians. Since June 2, the date of the regularization period, more than 16,000 of our compatriots are presented in different offices, mainly in search of information. In addition to the conditions that the applicant must complete, most are unable to fulfill the first condition, which is to be legally identify because of the lack of Haitian identity (CIN, passport, birth certificate) document. An observer believes that if the Haitian government does not provide the necessary identity documents, less than 5% of Haitians may access the regularization process. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-10510-haiti-politic-towards-the-provision-of-identity-to-all-haitian-paperless.html
