Citizenship
PLEASE NOTE
- In most cases applications for Citizenship by Descent will be processed within 9 months of the date of application. HOWEVER, some applications may take longer based on the documentary evidence provided to support the application. Citizenship must first be granted and a Citizenship Certificate produced before an application for a Jamaican passport can be submitted.
- There is a two (2) years minimum waiting time for the processing of applications for Citizenship by Marriage.
