05.07.2021. - JAMAICA HAS BECOME A SIGNATORY OF THE 1961. HAGUE APOSTILLE CONVENTION
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade in Kingston as the Competent Authority for Jamaica, commenced issuing Apostilles on the 5th July 2021. As of that date, the Ministry began to affix an Apostille to documents as proof of authentication for use in countries that are Apostille-Contracting Parties.
By virtue of the Convention, signatories to the Convention will no longer need to legalise documents once they are Apostilled by the Competent Authority of another State Party to the Convention.
Serbia is also a member/signatory of the Apostille Convention, therefore documents issued in Serbia with the Apostille can be used in Jamaica without additional legalisation and vice versa.
It should be noted, however, that where countries and territories are not Apostille-contracting Parties, the existing process of authentication/legalisation would continue to apply.
