COMMON QUESTIONS


Why is Government introducing a new ID Card?

Our existing ID cards have been around since 1979. It has served us well, but it
is time for an upgrade, and one that puts Barbados at the forefront of
technology. Our new national ID card is called Trident which stands for Trusted
Identity. Our new card is now also compliant with international standards for
identification.

How is the Trident card better than my old ID card?

The Trident card is more durable and contains a number of physical security
features to make it extremely difficult to counterfeit. It has an embossed
Trident to assist those with visual impairments to be able to identify and
orientate the card.  And it is now the same shape and size as all your other
cards, making it easier to carry in your wallet or purse.

What is printed on the card?

On the front of your Trident card is the same information you would expect on an
ID card: your ID number, photo, name, sex, date of birth, nationality and
signature. It also has the date of expiration for this card which is set at 10
years in most cases and space for additional information. On the back there is a
Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) similar to that found on most modern passports and a
QR code which can be used to access additional information.

What information will be in the “Other Data”?

As its name suggests, this area is for additional information about the holder.
For non-citizens, it will denote the type of residency, and for those who
choose, it will note if the holder has a disability. It will also indicate
whether the person is minor or senior.

Do I have to say if I have a disability?

No. If you have a disability, having this on the card is completely optional. If
you wish to state you that you have a disability, this will need to be verified
with the National Disabilities Unit and only the word “Disability” will be added
to the front of the card. The QR code on the back of the card will allow you to
share the broad type of disability using the World Health Organzation’s ICF
categorization.

What information is stored on the chip?

The chip stores the same information that is on the card plus some additional
information including your country of birth, details on your residential status
and your address and contact information. If you have a driver’s license, this
information is also stored on the chip. When you authorize the sharing of
information, the system will first try to do this online, if it is unable to do
so, it will use the offline version which is what is stored on the card.

What information is accessible using the QR code?

The QR code will provide the same information that is visible on the front of
the card. In addition, if you have a driver’s license, the QR code will also
show your basic driver’s license information including driver’s license number,
first issue date, expiration date, and the types of vehicles you are licensed to
drive. If you have chosen to have the word “Disability” displayed on the card,
the QR code will show the broad category heading from the World Health
Organization ICF categorization.

How do I control my information?

There are a number of ways to control your information. The first is controlling
physical access to your card. If you show someone your card, that means you are
giving them permission to view your card. If you allow someone to scan the QR
code on your card, that also means you are giving them permission to view the
information accessible by the QR code. If you insert your card in to a
travel-document reader, it will share the same information as an ePassport
would. If you insert your card in to a terminal and enter a PIN number, you are
giving permission to access additional information. Exactly what information you
are giving permission to access will depend on the use, but you will be informed
in advance of what information is being requested in accordance with the Data
Protection Act.

What about other information that is not mentioned here?

At launch, the information includes the information on the card and the
additional information stored in the chip. New services will only be added once
they have been thoroughly tested to ensure the privacy of your information.

What are the opening hours of the Registration Centers?

The opening hours are Monday- Friday 9am- 5pm and Saturday 9am- 4pm.

Is the new National ID card mandatory?

ALL of the old blue National ID cards will be replaced by the New ID cards. The
Trident eID which can be placed on your phone or mobile device is optional. This
will allow you to be remotely authenticated and do business, as well as sign
documents remotely
