Grenada welcomes new ID system for sub-region

ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – The Grenada government says it welcomes the new Multi-Purpose Identification System (MPID) for citizens of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
A government statement said that the system provides a cost-effective, incremental approach to integrating existing identity systems across the nine-member OECS and will offer a unique, inter-operable, best practice means of identifying each OECS stakeholder.
“As we deepen the integration process across our island states, the system will enable the seamless and accurate free movement of persons to work and live across the Economic Union; and provide a fee-for-service for non-government entities to access a Web Portal to use the Vetting and Verification Services,” Prime Minister Tillman Thomas said.
