The Migration Agency (DGM) reported another 1,603 fake National Foreigner Status Legalization Plan (PNRE) IDs have been seized. The documents were sold to foreigners who illegally reside in the Dominican Republic so that these individuals could pass for legal residents.
The DGM inspectors can now connect to the central database using biometric readers to verify the cards. The DGM said the individuals caught in the operation will be deported.
The cards were seized in DGM operations in Santiago, Dajabón, Pedernales and Independencia provinces. Migration inspectors also seized adulterated Dominican and Haitian passports, and expired residency and student permits.
