Motorists are now able to renew their motor vehicle registration online. That’s according to Tax Administration Jamaica, TAJ.
In a media release on Monday, TAJ says the full implementation of the first phase of online motor vehicle registration renewal is completed.
Motorists can access the service via the administation’s online platform www.jamaicatax.gov.jm.
TAJ says the added online service is a result of the collaboration among TAJ, eGov Jamaica and the Insurance Association of Jamaica.
TAJ notes that the addition to the suite of digital services follows the recently concluded pilot exercise of the service, with statistics suggesting a strong take-up of the online renewal option.
During the pilot phase, April 1 to September 30, TAJ says more than 90 percent of the applications were processed within a business day, which is well within the 1 to 3 day stated turn-around time.
Taxpayers owning a private motor vehicle with valid Insurance Certificates, Cover Notes and Fitness may apply and pay for their renewal online and then pick-up the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate and sticker within three business days.
Once processed an email notification will be sent to the taxpayer or their stated agent to pick up the registration documents at Tax Offices they had selected.
Customers will also be able to track the progress of the registration online using TAJ’s Motor Vehicle Registration Renewal tracking facility.
Clients are able to renew their vehicle registration using the online service between 90 days prior to and up to 11 months after the document’s expiry.
Motorists are reminded that they must be in possession of valid Fitness and Insurance Certificates, which will be electronically verified via the integrated databases of the Island Traffic Authority, the Insurance Association of Jamaica and TAJ.
