Every Jamaican knows the frustration. You go to one government office, fill out the forms, hand over the documents ā then you go to the next office and do it all over again. And the next. And the next.
As of April 2026, that changes.
Minister of Efficiency, Innovation & Digital Transformation, Ambassador the Hon. Audrey Marks, MP, announced the implementation of the Jamaica Data Exchange Platform (JDXP) ā a secure system that allows government agencies to share verified information with each other, with your consent, so you never have to repeat yourself again.
Opening a bank account? Your identity is verified in real time from your National ID. No JP letter. No reference form. No back and forth.
This is the Once-Only Principle ā and it is now live in Jamaica.
š Announced at the 2026 Sectoral Debate | Office of the Prime Minister
