According to Canadian publication Le Droit, the musician has not confirmed an official campaign but has filled out the necessary paperwork to move forward if he decides to run for office on November 28.
His foundation Yele Haiti said: "Wyclef's commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward.
"At this time, Wyclef Jean has not announced his intent to run for Haitian president. If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately."
Jean has been a vocal advocate for Haiti, previously calling for the government to concentrate more on educating the country's youth.
