TRINIDAD: Registrar General’s Department on polymer certificates… cost remains the same
May 5, 2016: The Registrar General’s Department of the Ministry of the Attorney General and Legal Affairs recently introduced polymer certificates for births, deaths and marriages in February 2016.
The Registrar General wishes to advise that the information in the public domain relative to these certificates, namely that the older certificate is no longer valid and the cost of the certificate is due to be increased to TT$100.00 from TT$25.00 is false and untrue.
The Registrar General advises that previously issued certificates remain valid and that there is no expiration date for the acceptance of these certificates.
The Registrar General further advises that the cost of the new polymer certificate remains at the sum of TT$25.00 per certificate.
The public is therefore asked to note that applications for Certificates can be made at the Registrar General’s Department offices located at:
