FROM Monday, November 28, 2016, residents of Berbice will be able to submit applications to the Central Immigration and Passport Office, at the Central Police Station, New Amsterdam, Berbice, for their passports.
The applications will be collected only on Mondays and Tuesdays, while passports can be collected from the said location on the other working days (Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays).
“However, this process only applies to persons who are already in possession of a machine-readable passport that is lost, damaged or filled,” a statement from the Guyana Police Force said on Friday.

First-time applicants are required to apply at the Georgetown Branch of the Central Immigration and Passport Office.
The move to have persons apply and collect their passports within their respective regions is part of the APNU+AFC’s commitment to decentralise immigration services across the country.
In August, the Ministry of Citizenship launched passport services in Linden, Region 10 and committed to implementing similar services in Mabaruma, Region One, Anna Regina, Region Two, Corriverton, Region Six, Bartica, Region Seven, Mahdia, Region Eight and Lethem, Region Nine.
