Santo Domingo, R.D. — The Central Electoral Board (JCE) issued an official statement to deny information spread in some media that indicated that Veridos GmbH, part of the EMDOC consortium, would have Haitian capital.
In that sense, the institution clarified that none of the five companies in the consortium are of Haitian origin, detailing that one is Dominican, two Panamanian and two German, including Veridos GmbH, 40% of which is owned by the German Federal Government through Bundesdruckerei Gruppe GmbH.

The JCE explained that Veridos GmbH has no responsibility or participation in the Haitian national identification system, being limited only to the supply of passports, without access to citizen data or management of identification systems. In addition, it recalled that the international public bidding process for the new ID card was carried out with full transparency, complying with the deadlines of Law 340-06 on Purchases and Contracting, and with a call published in national and international media.
The EMDOC consortium was awarded the contract to supply the necessary equipment, materials, and services for the renewal of the ID card, but the JCE maintains the ownership, control, administration, and exclusive custody of all personal data, ensuring that no external company or natural person has access to this information.
The institution highlighted that all processes comply with high international standards, including ISO 27001 certifications for information security and ISO 22301 for business continuity, with periodic audits and controlled procedures.
Likewise, the JCE assured that the procedures for the new ID card will be carried out exclusively by trained personnel of the institution, with the accompaniment of political parties and recognized movements, guaranteeing transparency, supervision and protection of the identity, sovereignty and security of citizens.
