Q: My surname does not appear on my Birth Certificate; what should I do?
A:
You may present your original Birth Certificate along with a previously issued Jamaican Passport showing your surname.
If you are unable to show an original Birth Certificate, you will need to apply for one through the Registrar General’s Department (RGD, located at Twickenham Park, St. Catherine, Jamaica). A Late Entry of Name (LEN) form may apply in your case.
