Where to Order Guyana ID Card: Best Place Online

Okay, so, I needed to get myself a new ID card ’cause the old one was, like, totally ancient. Heard from the news that they’re gonna issue some new electronic ones by the end of the year, figured it’s a good time to get one. And you know what? It wasn’t as much of a pain as I thought it would be!

Getting Started

First things first, I needed to figure out where to go. Apparently, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is the place to hit up. They’ve been seeing a lot more folks coming in for new IDs and replacements, so I figured I better get on that train.

Making an Appointment

Now, this part was a bit confusing ’cause I went to a website for the Consulate of Guyana to schedule an appointment. I had to choose a service on their website and then click “Make an appointment.” Simple enough, right? I found out later that you can actually reschedule or cancel your appointment, too. Also, I had to agree to let them store my personal info for a bit, which, you know, is standard procedure these days. When you get your appointment booked, the website will give you a confirmation and other instructions to follow.

Gathering My Documents

Before I headed over, I made sure to have some key details handy – my name, when and where I was born, and that unique ID number thing. I also remembered reading somewhere that these new digital IDs will have all that info on them.

I also had to find a recommender who needed to be a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago. I called my uncle who is a Managing Director there and got his recommendation. I also found out that a Minister of Religion registered under the law to perform marriages can also be a recommender.

The Big Day

Appointment day arrived, and honestly, it was pretty smooth. The staff at GECOM were helpful, guiding me through the steps. I handed over my details, got my picture taken, and boom – application submitted! They told me I could track the status online, which is pretty neat.

Smooth Sailing

All in all, getting my new ID card in Guyana wasn’t a big hassle. The online appointment system and friendly GECOM staff made the whole process straightforward. I’m actually kinda excited to get that new electronic ID card. It’ll make traveling through the Cheddi Jagan International Airport a breeze with their new electronic passport control system.

So, if you’re in Guyana and need a new ID, don’t sweat it. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be golden! This is my experience, hopefully, it will be helpful for you.
