The government of Haiti has announced it is partnering with the multinational Smartmatic to continue efforts toward the modernization, consolidation and upgrading of the country's civil and identity registry system.

The project will begin immediately with a one-year implementation phase, in which Smartmatic is to deploy 700 registration units to biometrically capture face photographs and the full 10 fingerprints from Haitian citizens. Of these, 600 units will be distributed across the national territory, and the remaining 100 among foreign missions abroad. Additionally, Smartmatic will provide associated services, such as project management, technical support, capacity building, to create the necessary infrastructure for Haiti to have a world-class national biometric enrollment platform.

One key aspect of this project is the fact that Smartmatic will transfer all the required technology knowledge to Haiti as the process unfolds. In the near future, the Caribbean nation will possess not only a state-of-the-art civil identity registry system, but all the technology and know-how for its continued development.

As a multinational with experience in mission-critical projects, Smartmatic has ensured successful deployments with positive transformational effects for governments in the United States, Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Caribbean.
