If you have an emergency and do not have a valid passport, you may apply for an “Emergency Certificate”. The Emergency Certificate is used primarily for travel to Jamaica and may be issued in cases where there is an unforeseen and immediate need to travel. Situations involving illness, death, loss of passport while traveling, or unexpected business travel would be considered an emergency. It is recommended that proof of the emergency be submitted with the application.

It should be noted that you will be required to complete a renewal or replacement passport application at the time of application for the Emergency Certificate.
