Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) says over 4 thousand new electronic motor vehicle registration certificates were processed and issued over the first two days since the Monday, July 21, launch of the new system.

This means that over 4 thousand motorists have been issued their motor vehicle registration certificates electronically, officially putting an end to the issuing of paper certificates and decals / stickers.

In a statement today, TAJ said in addition to e-certificates, under the Road Traffic Amendment Act 2025, a validity period of two years is now in effect, adding to the previous options of 6 months and 1 year.

Customers are being reminded that they must have a valid email or access to one, to renew or register their motor vehicle, whether it’s being done at a tax office or a TAJ log-in account that uses an email for online transactions via the TAJ website.

TAJ noted that persons registering their motor vehicle in office, must provide the collections officer or cashier with the email address, as part of the process.

TAJ said it has dedicated support teams available at the various tax offices to assist with ensuring a smooth registration process.

At the end of the in-office process customers will get an official receipt of the transaction.

TAJ said the instructions to access the electronic certificate will be emailed.
