If you’ve lost your TRN (Taxpayer Registration Number) and need to retrieve it while you’re out of the country, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
Step 1: Contact Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ)
Unfortunately, there is no online platform available where you can directly look up your TRN. However, you can get assistance from the Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) by reaching out to them through the following methods:
- Email: Send an email explaining your situation. Be sure to include as much information as possible, such as your full name, date of birth, and any previous details you remember about your TRN.
- Phone: You can also call TAJ’s customer service team from overseas to speak to a representative who may assist you with retrieving your number or issuing a replacement.
Step 2: Authorize Someone in Jamaica
If you know someone you trust who is currently in Jamaica, you can authorize them to visit a TAJ office on your behalf. They will need a signed letter from you giving them permission to act on your behalf, along with a copy of your identification.
Step 3: Apply for a Replacement TRN Card
If you’ve been able to retrieve your TRN number but need a replacement card, you can apply for a new one. Your TRN number remains the same, so once you have it, you can request a new card either by visiting TAJ when you’re back in Jamaica or by following up with them on how to get the card issued from abroad.
Step 4: Stay Updated
Visit the TAJ website for any updates or additional information on retrieving your TRN. While the number retrieval itself isn’t available online, keeping track of their latest services could help with other tax-related needs.
By following these steps, you should be able to retrieve your TRN or get assistance from the TAJ while you’re abroad. Safe travels, and feel free to reach out if you need further assistance!

Hello sir are madam I lost my TRN what can I do to get back the TRN number
If you lost your TRN (Taxpayer Registration Number) while you’re outside Jamaica, you can still get help to retrieve it by following these steps.
First, reach out to Tax Administration Jamaica, known as TAJ. You can contact them by sending an email to explain what happened, including your personal details like your full name, date of birth, and a description of your situation. You can also call their helpline to speak with someone directly if you need help.
To get your TRN, you’ll need to show proof of who you are. You can do this by sending a copy of your passport or driver’s license. Make sure it’s a notarized copy, which means it’s been signed by someone official to prove it’s real. If you have a family member or friend in Jamaica who you trust to pick up the TRN card for you, you can give them permission to do so by writing a letter with their name, stating they’re allowed to collect it on your behalf.
When you’re ready, fill out the TRN application form, which you can get from the TAJ website. Print and fill out the form, then mail it along with the notarized copy of your ID to TAJ’s office in Kingston, Jamaica.
Once they have everything they need, TAJ will process your request and assign your TRN. They will then send you a confirmation by email, and if needed, they’ll mail the TRN card to the address you provided. Following these steps will help you retrieve your TRN even while you’re outside of Jamaica.
