Getting a SIM card in Haiti
What visitors and new residents need to know before buying a local SIM or eSIM in Haiti, with a source for each point.
Buying a SIM as a visitor
Mandatory: CONATEL obliges operators to identify every SIM buyer (Regulatory Decision OE-CNT-DEC2020-0001, sanctions under its article 14). Only the national ID card (CINU) is accepted for nationals; a passport may be used instead, notably by foreigners. CONATEL rules keep a clause allowing people without ID documents to obtain a SIM. No SIM-count limit or device (IMEI) registration requirement was found.

Where to buy it
Digicel and Natcom stores and their authorised distributors; CONATEL sets the conditions of sale and can close a distributor's sales chain for selling unregistered SIMs. Bring your passport.
