Each Lodge Secretary has a copy of the List of Lodges (Masonic) published annually to identify those Lodges generally recognized by a majority of the regular Grand Lodges. If you intend to travel abroad, you may request a Travel Commission from the Grand Secretary's Office. Per Masonic protocol, Masons are not permitted to correspond directly, in any form or manner, with another Grand Lodge or its Subordinate Lodges without prior approval of the respective Grand Secretaries. Requests to correspond with another Grand Lodge or its Lodges must be submitted to the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge. That said, I am aware of a Masonic Lodge in Puerto Rico that is regular and recognized by the UGLE. <strong>The Grand Lodge of Puerto Rico</strong> Ave. Ponce de Leon 1707 San Juan, Puerto Rico 00909 +1 - 787 727 6780 There are several ways for a Mason to determine whether or not a particular Lodge or Grand Lodge is officially recognized.

Prior to that reference, it was understood that the 50 states and the District of Columbia each enjoyed their own GL. Am I right in assuming that Puerto Rico has developed a Grand Lodge? Thank you for any information you can provide regarding this matter.
