Update on ARTT Certificates

We wish to advise that the issuance of ARTT certificates, including first-time certificates and renewal certificates, is currently pending as we complete the implementation of the upgraded ARTT digital certificate system.

This upgraded system is being introduced to improve the efficiency, security, and accessibility of ARTT Registry services, and will allow approved applicants to access their certificates electronically through the ARTT platform.

Please be assured that approved applications and renewals remain on record and are being maintained within the Registry system. Applicants are not required to resubmit documentation at this time.

Certificate issuance will resume upon completion of the relevant administrative and technical processes. Once the system becomes fully operational, applicants will be contacted with further guidance regarding access to their certificates.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to modernise the Artist Registry of Trinidad and Tobago in order to better serve artists and cultural workers across the country.

Further updates will be communicated as they become available.

Thank you for your continued support of ARTT.
