Service Delivery to Nationals

• Maintenance of a registry of Nationals at the nearest embassy, consulate or trade office. In some instances this would have to be strategically located, in order to provide access to smaller communities of Dominica Nationals .The registry would facilitate timely dissemination of information to Dominicans abroad and provide the consular offices with a roster of people with skill sets of value to Dominica.
• Enhance policies and procedures for passport renewals with the aim of streamlining the process and reducing the turn-around time for renewals
• Embassies and trade offices should be able to provide would-be returnees quick access to policies and procedures re land registration, housing, banking regulations, investment opportunities, business development, shipping, customs policies etc.

• Nationals could be given the opportunity (through the nearest, consulate, embassy or trade office) to act as good will ambassadors or honorary consuls in their communities. In that role they could work with local Dominica Associations to promote Dominica as a travel destination, place for ethical investment and economic opportunities, encourage twinning projects with schools, service clubs etc.
• Consideration should be given to providing nationals with the option of registering on Dominica's voters' list and participate in the electoral process. (This is a controversial issue, yet it is a practice that is allowed by many countries)
• Nationals could be given the opportunity to comment or make suggestions on legislation and/or projects, which could potentially have significant economic impact on Dominica.

• Registered nationals may submit input directly to the nearest consular offices.
• Local organizations, after consulting with their members, make submissions on their behalf. (In some instances both sides of the issues may have to be submitted for balanced debate.)
• Government will then receive cross-sectional excerpts of positions for deliberations in the legislature and/or caucus.
