The Registrar General’s Department (RGD) in Jamaica has temporarily closed its Marriage Unit.

The closure, which took effect yesterday (Thursday September 2) will remain until Wednesday, September 8, 2021, when the unit reopens.

The RGD made the disclosure in an advisory to the Jamaican public.

While not giving a reason for the temporary closure, the RGD advises that weddings already booked for today Friday, September 3 and Saturday, September 4, 2021 will be facilitated.
