Since becoming an Executive Agency in 1999, the RGD has implemented a number of initiatives to enhance the delivery of its services to the public and improve customer satisfaction. These include an increase in the number of regional offices, the implementation of the Baby Application Tracking System (BATS) and the Customer Online Query System (COQS), an increase in the number of outreach programmes, both in Jamaica and overseas, and earlier this year, the agency began accepting on-line credit card payments for its services.
