It is recommended that a child be registered within 12 months of birth. However, if this was not done, we recommend that you visit any one of the RGD offices and speak with one of our Customer Service Representatives who will guide you on the process involved to conduct a Late Registration.

How can I get a death certificate?
One Miss Michelle Scarlett of Montego Bay, St. James has applied for her Birth Certificate(late Entry) since 2014 and to-date she has not gotten her document from the RGD. She is presently going to seek legal redress against your establishment for the trauma and suffering she has endured as she has been unable to secure a job even though she was likely to be hired all because your establishment failed to act within its given mandate. This is clearly a serious breach of your service standard which must be addressed by all possible means legally.
