CRIF Information Bureau Jamaica

CRIF Information Bureau Jamaica Limited is one of the credit bureaus licensed by the Bank of Jamaica under the Credit Reporting Act 2010. Its Jamaica consumer pages explain that every Jamaican aged 18 or over is entitled to one free copy of their credit report each calendar year, and set out what the bureau needs: a completed Consumer Credit Report Request form, the applicant's TRN, a valid government issued photo identification such as a driver's licence, passport or voter's registration card, and proof of address such as a recent utility bill or bank statement.

Where an applicant has no valid identification the bureau accepts a passport size photograph certified by an approved official such as a Justice of the Peace, pastor, medical practitioner, attorney-at-law, superintendent of police or bank manager. The site publishes the downloadable forms for an individual credit report request, a company credit report request, address verification, dispute resolution, and a sample credit report, and describes an online processing route where the form and identification documents are submitted for same day issue of the free report.

The business side of the site covers credit information reporting, credit management solutions and consulting and analytics for Jamaica, with the same product families offered separately for the Bahamas and Belize. CRIF Jamaica operates from Kingston.
