The fake migration cards keep turning up. Although the numbers vary according to the newspaper carrying the news, it is apparent that the Migration Agency (DGM) has recently seized more than 350 fake or altered ID cards for persons registering with the National Foreigner Legalization Plan (PNRE).
According to the report from the DGM, some 369 counterfeit ID cards and 30 copies of the PNRE cards together with seven foreign passports and two student ID cards were collected in migratory inspections in Dajabon and Elias Piña, on the border with Haiti. This is the fifth operation of this sort carried out by the DGM over the past few months, and, so far, some 3,400 falsified ID cards have been seized, together with foreign passports and altered Dominican cedulas.
According to the Law 285-04, there is automatic deportation of the persons involved in cases of fake, altered or false identity cases. Any ID card holder under the PNRE who lends his/her card for such purposes, is automatically excluded from the PNRE and deported, except in those cases where the document has previously been reported either lost or stolen.
