I am living in Trinidad, working abroad and my Guyanese passport expires in 2012. I understand that Trinidad and Tobago PP will not be accepted in travel after December 31st 2009. Would I need to change my PP to the machine readable one too. If so, how soon? and can it be done in Trinidad or would I have to go to Guyana. if I have to go to Guyana, how long will the process take from submission of application to receipt of new passport. Please advise.
Thank you!

This is a very useful site and information …Thank you
at 70: You can get your Guyanese passport but you must first do the following:
1. Ask your mom has to apply at the Ministry of Foreing Affairs in Guyana(documents could be sent via the nearest embassy)with:
- A sworn affidavit requesting registration of the birth
- An original birth certificate OR a copy or the birth certificate that is certified in the country of birth
- Proof of either parent being Guyanese.
These documents will then be submitted to the Registrar General’s Office for the processing of the registration of birth
2. After getting the local registration of birth(guyana) you can then apply for a guyanese passport.
Ps: better to go guyana and do it and have someone pick the apporval up our something or the sort..
A relative of mine spent a vacation in Guyana, had some serious problems and had to file a police report at the providence police station. When she went back for the police report, she was given a photocopy of the handwritten crime book extract, this was stamped with the station stamp. But it is just a photocopy of the officer hanwriting directly from the crimebook!
My questions now are :
1. Is this normal in Guyana ? To have the police report photocopy from the crimebook instead of typed?
2. Which department can I contact to attest that indeed this is the practice in Guyana and is valid?
hello, how are you all doing? I need some help. I lost my guyana birth certificate and i need to obtain a copy, do you have any advice? Where can i go to fill out an application to get a copy of my guyana birth certificate. I would really appreciate a response.

Hi, hope you can assist me with my question. I am studying in Toronto, Canada my passport expires in June, 2011. However, I have to reapply for my Study Permit which expires in September, 2010. There is a 9mths gap between Sept 2010- June 2010 and if I am correct your passport needs to be valid for 6mths when doing any requests.
My question is, would it be possible for me to apply for my NEW PASSPORT now (March 2010) and then proceed to extend my Study Permit?? (the expiration of my current passport is it’s 15 years..so i think that calls for it to be a “new” passport and not renewal”).
Secondly, is their a website I can access with the form?

A MERY XMAS TO THE CHIEF AND ALL GUYANESE!
A GUYANESE XMAS
When I look back on my life
Before I had my loving wife
I remember from my childhood file
The good old Xmas Guyanese style
Long before Xmas December 25 would come
My village is astir be you foe or either chum
Folks preparing the home with drapes and blinds
And the Xmas cake by grinding fruits of all kinds
Whoever had the oven firing it up with care
It’s one of those things Guyanese do share
Before December 25th with the sweet aroma
Every mother waiting in line with her quota
With buckets of mixed cakes ready
That’s where would be the activity
With the women gossiping
And kids and pets frolicking
A fairlike atmosphere is taken on
With happy banter by everyone
And setting the cool jinger beer
Was done by an elder with care
A Guyanese Christmas is unique for sure
Can never be understood by a NA culture
Of hamburger, hotdogs and spaghetti
As me eating my dholl rice and bhajee
Our six peoples each have a tasty dish
Some still enjoy foo foo and salt fish
And from waterside to the sand reef
Our Muslim brothers prefer their beef
From Corentyne or Buxton
Hindus mostly eat mutton
With their garlic pork they will go to all ends
So don’t forget our other Portuguese friends
And always need for chow mien for Guyanese
Catered for by that happy band of nice Chinese
To describe it there aren’t any modern phrases
During this time the air is filled as jukeboxes
Blasting melodious Indian songs and chatney
From a people known for their fine hospitality
And a merry Xmas and a happy New year too
