About the honorary consulate in Copenhagen
The appointment dates from 2012, according to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists office hours (Monday to Friday 09:00–17:30); as honorary consuls work part-time, confirm before you go.
The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not publish visa rules for individual countries. Its travel advice points out that the authorities of the destination decide on entry rules, and asks Danish citizens to check with that country’s nearest embassy or consulate before departure – for Jamaica, that means this mission.

Which Jamaican office issues passports and visas?
The Jamaican Embassy in London (accredited to Denmark) is the place for passports and most consular matters; the honorary consul can advise but does not replace it.
Note: Jamaica has no resident embassy in Copenhagen; its embassy in London is accredited to Denmark.

What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Jamaica and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Jamaican citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
