FCDO Document Legalisation Process

  1. Notarial Authentication:
    If your document has been signed or authenticated by a UK notary, it is generally sufficient for use in Jamaica. Under Section 22(2)(a) and (3) of the Jamaican Judicature (Supreme Court) Act 1880 (as amended), documents notarised in the UK are typically recognised by Jamaican authorities without the need for further legalisation, such as Apostille or consular legalisation.

  2. No Apostille or Consular Legalisation Required:
    Since Jamaica accepts notarially authenticated documents, an Apostille or consular legalisation is not typically necessary. The notary’s signature and seal are sufficient for most types of documents intended for use in Jamaica.

Jamaica, as a member of the Commonwealth, generally does not require documents to undergo a formal legalisation process if they have been signed or authenticated by a UK notary. The Jamaican authorities typically recognise notarially authenticated documents for use in the country, without the need for further legalisation.
