Identification Card Services Now Available on Cayman Brac
Residents of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman can now apply for and receive support for the Cayman Islands Identification Card (My eID) closer to home, following the official opening of a new Cayman Islands Identification Card office on Cayman Brac.
Located at the District Administration Annex Buildings, Annex Building 2, 206 Martyn Roper Way, Stake Bay, Cayman Brac, the new office expands access to My eID services for Sister Islands residents, eliminating the need to travel to Grand Cayman for applications, renewals, and support. The office will operate Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. My eID services were also made available in Little Cayman on Friday and Saturday as part of the Sister Islands launch, with additional scheduled service dates to be announced to support continued access for Little Cayman residents.
The launch was led by the Department of eGovernment, with valued support from the Cayman Brac District Administration Office, which assisted in coordinating local logistics and public engagement activities. As part of the rollout, Hon. Ministers Nickolas DaCosta and Isaac Rankine travelled to the Sister Islands to support a series of launch events and community engagement sessions in Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
During the visit, both Ministers attended and spoke at staff briefings and public town hall meetings, helping to formally introduce My eID to civil servants and residents in the Sister Islands. These sessions gave members of the public the opportunity to learn more about the Cayman Islands Identification Card, ask questions directly, and better understand how My eID will improve convenience, strengthen identity verification, and make access to government and essential services easier across all three Islands.
Minister DaCosta also made history as the first person to officially receive his My eID card on Cayman Brac, marking a major milestone in the national rollout and highlighting the Government’s commitment to bringing modern, accessible public services to every district and every island.
“This is about ensuring that all Caymanians and residents, no matter which island they call home, have equal access to secure, modern government services,” said Minister DaCosta. “Bringing My eID services to Cayman Brac is an important step in making identification and access to services easier, more convenient, and more inclusive for the people of our Sister Islands.”
Minister Rankine added, “My eID is about improving everyday life for our people. It gives residents a secure and reliable way to prove who they are, whether accessing government services, verifying identity, or travelling between islands. For many young people, older persons, and others who may not hold a driver’s licence, My eID offers a practical and trusted form of identification that makes inter-island travel and day-to-day transactions much easier.”
The My eID card provides residents with a secure and convenient way to verify their identity and access a growing range of digital and in-person government services. It also serves as a practical form of identification for domestic travel between Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman, particularly for residents who do not drive and may not have another government-issued photo ID, including some children, students, and older persons.
The programme is being issued in phases as part of eGovernment’s broader digital transformation strategy, beginning with Caymanians and Civil Servants before expanding to wider groups.
The Cayman Brac office offers the same services available in Grand Cayman, including:
- New applications for the Cayman Islands Identification Card
- Document verification and submission
- Technical and general support for existing cardholders
- Assistance with updates to applicant information
"We are delighted to extend My eID services to the Sister Islands," said Ian Tibbetts, Director of eGovernment, "Bringing the Cayman Islands Identification Card closer to our Brac and Little Cayman residents reflects our commitment to delivering accessible, modern government services to every Caymanian, no matter where they live."
Applicants are encouraged to begin their application online, where they can submit their information and book an appointment in advance to help speed up processing and card issuance. They should also review the application guide and gather the required documents before visiting the office.
