Apostille for Jamaica
Joining a BPO or IT operation in Kingston or Montego Bay, teaching or nursing in Jamaica, or getting married on the island? Jamaica joined the Hague Apostille Convention with effect from 3 July 2021, so Indian public documents now need only the MEA apostille – the older route through the Jamaican High Commission is no longer required. INFINITYGRO completes the apostille for Jamaica in Delhi; English documents are used as they are.

apostille
The apostille for Jamaica is placed by the MEA once the Indian document has been verified – degrees by the university or state education department, nursing and medical registrations by the council, birth certificates by the home department or SDM, single-status affidavits by a notary and SDM. Jamaica’s Ministry of Labour, registrar and employers accept it in English.
Jamaica embassy attestation is no longer needed – the apostille for Jamaica is
Before July 2021, documents for Jamaica had to go through a longer legalisation process. Jamaica’s accession to the Convention made the MEA apostille sufficient for Indian documents.
Jamaica’s BPO industry hires experienced Indian team leaders and trainers, and schools and hospitals recruit teachers and nurses; work-permit applications commonly include apostilled degrees and professional certificates.
