How to Obtain a Bankruptcy Receipt from the Office of the Supervisor of Insolvency for Your Real Estate Board (REB) Application in Jamaica?

Obtaining a Bankruptcy Receipt for your application to the Real Estate Board of Jamaica is a straightforward process, provided you follow the steps carefully. First, you will need to visit the Office of the Supervisor of Insolvency, located on the second floor of the Caldon Finance Building at 52-60 Grenada Crescent, Kingston. The office hours are Monday to Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, but please note that they are closed on weekends. These hours may be subject to change, so it is recommended to confirm with the office before visiting.

To complete the process, ensure you bring approximately JMD $3,000 in cash, as this is the prescribed fee for obtaining the Bankruptcy Receipt. You will also need your Jamaican Tax Registration Number (TRN). If you do not already have a TRN, you must acquire one prior to your visit, as the process cannot proceed without it. Having a Jamaican driver’s license can simplify this step since it typically includes both your TRN and your address details. You should also provide an address for the application. If you do not have a permanent address in Jamaica, it’s advisable to contact the office in advance to clarify the procedure for such cases.

Once at the office, your TRN and address details will be collected, and depending on your situation, additional questions may be asked. After paying the required fee, the office will issue your Bankruptcy Receipt. It’s important to note that the actual report will not be handed to you directly; instead, it will be sent by the office directly to the Real Estate Board for processing once completed.

The Bankruptcy Receipt is an essential component of your full application for a real estate salesperson registration or license. Please remember that procedures, fees, and requirements are subject to change, so double-check all details before proceeding.
