Registrar General’s Department Provides Easy Access to Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates

The Registrar General’s Department (RGD) in Jamaica is offering a convenient and efficient process for obtaining birth, marriage, and death certificates. All citizens are required to register these life events with the RGD within a reasonable timeframe, after which the department reviews the applications and issues the certificates.

If individuals need to replace any of these certificates, the RGD has simplified the application process, making it easily accessible to everyone. Whether online or visiting any of the RGD locations, applicants can apply for replacements without any unnecessary hassle.

Replacing a birth certificate requires submitting an application detailing the necessary information such as the individual’s birth date, place of birth, and parent’s names. Similarly, to replace a death certificate, applicants need to provide details about the deceased, including the date and place of death.

In the case of replacing a marriage certificate, applicants must provide their marriage date, names of the spouses, and the location of the marriage. The RGD may require additional time for processing if any required information is missing or if a search needs to be conducted.

In case of any queries or to gather additional information, citizens can directly contact the Registrar General’s Department at their office located in Twickenham Park, St. Catherine. Alternatively, the department can be reached via telephone at 876-749-0550 or 876-619-1260. Email and website details can be found on the RGD Jamaica official website, and they are also active on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Obtaining your birth, marriage, or death certificates has never been easier. Take advantage of the streamlined process provided by the Registrar General’s Department and ensure that you have the necessary documentation in a timely manner.
