Whether you are traveling to Jamaica for business or pleasure (perhaps a wedding!), you will likely need to bring the necessary documents to present to the government. If this is the case, you must also apostille those. But don’t worry; we can help you apostille documents for Jamaica.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is a seal that confirms the authenticity of a document The apostille is used between all countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961. Non-member countries require the paperwork to receive embassy legalization to confirm its authenticity.

Jamaica became a member of the convention in 2020 – and, therefore, accepts the apostille.

When to Apostille Documents for Jamaica

Let’s say you are getting married in Jamaica and need to apostille your documents for a destination wedding. You must bring documents such as your birth certificate, passport, divorce decree or death certificate, or single status affidavit. Each of these documents requires its own apostille.

The state issues documents such as your birth certificate and a divorce decree. This means you will work with the state of origin to receive the apostille.

Steps to apostille a state-issued document are:

• Obtain the original or a certified copy of your birth certificate
• DO NOT notarize the birth certificate
• Fill out the apostille application with the Department of State

Federally issued documents, such as your passport, means you will work with the federal government to obtain the apostille.

Steps to apostille a federally-issued document are:

• You must have your original passport
• You can get a notarized copy to submit
• Fill out the apostille application with the US Department of State in Washington, DC

And this must be done for EVERY document. You cannot ask for one apostille for several documents. This can be a tedious and time-consuming process.
