If your TRN (Taxpayer Registration Number) card is lost in Jamaica, here’s what you need to do:
- Report the Loss
While it is not mandatory to report a lost TRN to the police, doing so can provide a record in case of future misuse. - Visit a Tax Office
Go to your nearest Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) office. Bring a valid form of identification, such as your passport, national ID, or driver’s license. - Request a TRN Replacement
At the TAJ office, request a replacement for your lost TRN. Complete the TRN application form (if required), and explain the situation to the representative. - Pay the Processing Fee
If applicable, pay the replacement fee. The cost is generally minimal. - Receive Your New TRN Card
Once your application is processed, you will be issued a new TRN card. In some cases, you may be provided with a printed copy immediately or asked to return to collect it on a specified date.
Pro Tip: To avoid future inconveniences, consider storing your TRN securely and keeping a digital or photocopy of it as a backup.
For more details, visit the official Tax Administration Jamaica website or contact their customer service.

i am overseas and need to request a copy of my trn how do i go about that can my father pick one up for me
If you’re overseas and need a copy of your TRN, you have a couple of options. First, your father can pick it up for you if you give him a signed authorization letter, a copy of your ID (like your passport or driver’s license), his ID, and your TRN details if you have them. He should call the Tax Office beforehand to make sure everything is in order. Alternatively, you can contact Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) directly via phone or email to ask about getting your TRN digitally or by mail. Some requests might require notarized documents, so it’s a good idea to check with them first. Disclaimer: This is general info, not legal advice—best to confirm the process with TAJ.
