How do I collect the first free birth certificate?

The money paid at the hospital represents payment for the registration of the child’s birth. In order to access the Free First Copy of the birth certificate you will need to visit the NIRA two months after the birth of the child and complete a Print on Demand form. If this was not done please visit the office and complete the form. Carry your receipt and the red and white piece when coming in. You can also make a request via our website www.nira.gov.jm > APPLY NOW > Scroll and Select the option that says FIRST FREE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.  Ensure that you have the Certificate of Registry, a valid ID, and your receipt. Complete the required fields and upload photos of your documents.
