For all your identification needs.

The National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) is established under the National Identification and Registration Act 2021, and became operable on January 29, 2024. NIRA is mandated to administer both Jamaica’s National Identification System (NIDS), and civil registration systems. The NIDS represents a significant step in the nation’s commitment to modernisation, improving efficiency, and safeguarding citizen’s rights, and will improve access to government services and foster socio-economic development. The civil registry functions are currently carried out by the Registrar-General’s Department (RGD), and are now being incorporated within NIRA as the Office of the Registrar-General.

My name is Roger Chantrielle and my dad's name was Carl Chantrielle, I would like to thank you for having Myrna Shirley as a member of your staff. I came to your office last week very distressed with the passing of my dad and had the pleasure of meeting Myrna. She treated me with such kindness and dignity. She was very personable and extremely courteous and carefully guided me through the process on what needed to be done. People have always thought that customer service is what's important, but I believe customer satisfaction matters most and Myrna delivers the true meaning of customer satisfaction.

Shanique Robinson, Awesome thanks. You have been a great help. Prompt, competent and resolution oriented is what you are compared to. Horrible horror stories I have heard of and experienced at institutions in person there. I am so proud and impressed. I have already recommended you to two other persons complaining of unprofessional service at the RGD. Thank you.
