Jordan Embassy Attestation Fees 2026: Indian Documents for Amman, Irbid and Aqaba
Jordan Embassy Attestation is the last stamp Jordanian employers, ministries and banks look for on an Indian certificate. It comes after the paper has been verified in India and attested by the Ministry of External Affairs.
Short answer: Jordan has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille is not accepted in Amman. Every Indian document goes through a domestic check (education department, Home Department or SDM, or a Chamber of Commerce), then MEA attestation, and finally legalisation by the Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in New Delhi. An Arabic translation is often requested in Jordan.
Is an apostille valid in Jordan, or is Jordan Embassy Attestation required?
Our October 2026 check of the HCCH status table found no entry for Jordan, so an apostille has no effect there. Jordan relies on consular legalisation: its embassy confirms the MEA signature, which already confirms the Indian state or Chamber. Some Amman offices also want the stamp checked by Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates; ask your sponsor.

Why Jordan asks for these documents: work, family and study
Employment and the Jordanian work permit
Foreign staff need a Ministry of Labour work permit, requested by the employer, then residence. Some occupations are closed to foreigners, so check eligibility first. Skilled files hold an attested degree proving the qualification, experience certificates showing the track record and a police clearance confirming no criminal history.
Many Indians work in garment factories of the Qualifying Industrial Zones, such as Al Hassan Industrial Estate near Irbid. Nurses, engineers, accountants and fertiliser technicians form the skilled stream; engineers join the Jordan Engineers Association.
Family residence, study and business
Dependants prove each relationship: a legalised marriage certificate for the spouse's residence and a legalised birth certificate for every child, which Amman schools also request. Students show attested Class 12 and degree records; company directors bring incorporation papers.
