The Order of National Hero The Order of the Nation The Order of Excellence The Order of Merit The Order of Jamaica, and The Order of Distinction, and by the award of the Badge of Honour or the Medal of Honour.
The Order of National Hero is the most senior Order. The Honour of the Order of National Hero may be conferred upon any person who was born in Jamaica or is, or at the time of his or her death was, a citizen of Jamaica and rendered to Jamaica service of a most distinguished nature. A member of the Order is entitled to be styled “Rt. Excellent” and the motto of the Order is “He built a city which hath foundations”.

It is not conferred upon more than two persons in any one year or upon any person if the number of living members, other than honorary members, would by reason of such conferment, be increased to more than fifteen. The motto of the Order is “He that does truth comes into the light”, and a member of the Order is styled “Honourable”.
The Honour of the Order of Jamaica (OJ) may be conferred upon any Jamaican citizen of outstanding distinction or upon any distinguished citizen of a country other than Jamaica (honorary member). A member of the Order is styled “Honourable” and the motto of the Order is “For a covenant of the People”.
The Order of Distinction has two ranks, namely:
(i) Commander (CD) and (ii) Officer (OD) The Honour of the Order may be conferred upon any citizen of Jamaica who renders outstanding and important services to Jamaica and upon any distinguished citizen of a country other than Jamaica (an honorary member). The motto of the Order is “Distinction through Service”.

• Gallantry – awarded to persons who have performed acts of gallantry or acts of heroism or who have shown great courage in circumstances of extreme danger;
• Meritorious Service – awarded to persons who have rendered loyal and meritorious service beneficial to Jamaica;
• Long and Faithful Service – awarded to persons who have rendered long and valuable service worthy of special recognition.
