Under the upcoming National Identification System (NIDS), there will be a renewal period of every 10 years for adults and five years for children who get their cards at birth. NIDS will make identification a one-step process. Enrolment sites are now being set up islandwide for voluntary registration. The plan over the next five to seven years is to establish a national broadband network right across the country to give citizens free Wi-Fi service, establishing more than 180 free spots across all parishes islandwide.
