With the support of a partner, the Government of Guyana has been using a global data system called PRIMES for the biometric registration and documentation of new arrivals from Venezuela in Region 1. Household Registration Certificates were issued by Immigration authorities to Venezuelans upon their entry into Guyana, including a provision against forced return and a renewable three-month stay permit. In this framework, a partner supported Immigration authorities to conduct biometric registration in the remote southwest area of Region 1 and expanded biometric registration activities from Region 1 to Region 7. A total of 260 Venezuelans, including persons with disabilities, received Household Registration Certificates and stay permits during this activity which included locations such as Puruni and Itabali in Region 7.
