San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
The bear Hondurans that the enrollment process was carried out without encountering errors in their personal data will begin to receive the new national identification document (DNI) from next month; others will have to wait for the National Register of Persons (RNP) resolve inconsistencies.
Through the project called Identify it, started last July, the RNP aims to enlist 5.5 million Honduras and deliver the new identification document before the CNational Electoral Council hold primary elections to choose presidential candidates.
In January, and for the only time, the European company Thales, an expert in digital identification and responsible for preparing passports in Britain, will print the documents and then the RNP, with the same technology as this company, will issue replacements to citizens who get lost.
Until the previous weekend, the RNP had registered 4.8 million citizens in different parts of the country, and in February and February, through the consulates, will update the information of Hondurans in the United States and later of compatriots in Spain .
Meanwhile it carries out the enrollment process, which takes about four minutes per city, the RNP detects and corrects identification errors. By the end of the week it had added 383,876 inconsistencies, but it had also, at the same time, corrected 60,000 inaccuracies since August.
Among the most common inconsistencies found by the RNP in this new enrollment process stand out the different date of birth between registration and identification (102,195 cases), different numbers between registration and identification (94,080), different first surname between registration and identification (58,595) , second different last name between registration and identification (67,321) and other problems.
These inconsistencies, without the need for a citizen to attend an office, are corrected by the municipal civil registries, civil registration department, civil officers, general secretariat and general inspectorate at the request of the Inconsistency Resolution Committee.
A member of the Inconsistency Resolution Committee, who requested the omission of his name, told Diario THE PRESS that the 383,876 inconsistencies found so far do not correspond to the same number of people, because “there are citizens who have up to three inconsistencies”, and because of this it is likely that those who have these problems are only about 170,000 Hondurans”.
“Almost half of the inconsistencies are corrected instantly because they are errors in receiving information, the other 50% of inconsistencies go to the Civil Officer, when only a letter of the name or surname is rectified. Another percentage of cases involving people with the same identity number is directed to the Civil Registry department. They do a study to determine who first acquired the rights to that identity, they make an opinion and the other person is assigned another identity number, “he said.
Many cases of identity duplication have been carried out by the RNP since 1996, when Hondurans stopped using a yellow identity card (which was made of laminated cardboard and without any security measures such as those used at the time). ) adopt the current document which, according to the Law of Special Provisions Primary Elections, will expire on May 15, 2021.

To change the electoral direction To change the electoral direction, citizens who are already enrolled in the RNP can submit the application to the National Electoral Council (CNE) on its website: www.cne / censo. |
“Before everything was handwritten, there was no technological control. With a handwritten birth certificate, a person registers with an invented identity number or with a number that they thought was correct, ”he said.
Most of the inconsistencies regarding the date of birth dated before 1984, when the mayors “handled the National Register of Persons” and did not clearly record the “year of birth”, but, for example, wrote “The gentleman presented himself to account for his son … he signed the present on the 11th day of December of the present.”
On the inconsistencies that present indications of a product of a crime, the General Inspection of the RNP will carry out an investigation, issue an opinion and will transfer the case to the Public Ministry for which to make the pertinent inquiries with the intention of ascertaining or discarding a action taken with the queen by law.
The process of correcting inconsistencies is initiated by the citizen at the same time as he enrolls and receives the information that there is an inconsistency between the data found in the two databases of the RNP, the del Civil Registry and that of Identification.
“When the information does not match, the system displays an alert. The winder is obliged to show the person inconsistency. The enroller is not legally empowered to correct, but he does ask the citizen to state what is correct and to electronically sign an affidavit, ”he said.

5.5 Millions The RNP aims to enroll 5.5 million people before May 15, a date that will lose the validity of the current identity card. |
The affidavit, in which the citizen sets out the problem and the data he considers correct, arrives at the same time as the Inconsistency Resolution Committee. This instance begins the investigations, and if you need to hear more, call the citizen to clarify the doubts.
Inconsistencies in the census
Óscar Rivera, commissioner of the RNP, said that citizens must understand that there are two types of inconsistencies, “a sleep of the National Registry of Persons and others those of the electoral census ”, the first are“ the historical ones detected by means of the project Identify ”and the others“ have to do with the voting centers and questions of update of cartography ”.
“There are two work teams correcting, one work on the inconsistencies of the RNP and the other on the complaints that citizens submit about the provisional census that until the weekend were around 10,000, most are claims that have to do with the photography and not with the electoral direction “, said Rivera. “Of the first batch of complaints that came to us, which were about 3,600, about 3,200 were about photography,” he said.

From the previous week, the CNE began, through its website, to debug the provisional national electoral census for citizens requested, among other changes, the electoral direction even if it is different from that listed as home address in the RNP database.
Those who do not have these problems will begin to receive the new identity next month which will have new security elements.
It will not have a chip (shorten the useful time), but the QR (Quick Response Code).
In the new document, its initial design showed a macaw, now, at the site of the national avenue, there will be an allegorical acorn in the pine forests of Honduras.
