Jordan Embassy Attestation for Indian Documents
Jordan does not accept apostilles from India, so documents going to Amman or Aqaba need Jordan embassy attestation. The paper is verified in India by a state department or Chamber of Commerce, attested by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and then legalized by the Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in New Delhi.

Documents from India for Jordan
What is the route for an Indian document going to Jordan? Jordan is not an Apostille partner, so the route is a chain. First comes state verification, notary and SDM, or a Chamber of Commerce for business papers. Next is MEA attestation. Last comes Jordan embassy attestation in New Delhi. Jordanian offices often want an Arabic translation, and some may ask for a further local step after arrival.
Indians heading to Jordan
Indians work in Jordan in factories, healthcare, engineering and services. Students also go to Jordanian universities, and Indian companies sell food, chemicals, textiles and machinery to Jordanian buyers. Each group needs a different set of papers, but the legalization chain is the same.

The Jordan embassy attestation chain
- India-side verification. Educational papers go to the state education department of the issuing state. Civil records go to the state Home or GAD department, or notary and SDM where permitted. Business papers go to a recognised Chamber of Commerce.
- MEA attestation at an authorised outsourced centre. MEA confirms the verifying officer's signature.
- Jordanian Embassy in New Delhi legalizes the MEA stamp.

Employment and professional licences
Healthcare workers and engineers in Jordan often need their degree attested for registration with Jordanian professional bodies. Employers may also want experience letters, which are private documents. These normally need notarisation first so there is an official signature to verify.
Keep your degree, transcript and registration certificate together and attest them in one go.
Marriage and family records
Indians married to Jordanian nationals, and families joining a worker in Jordan, often need attested marriage and birth certificates. Jordanian civil and residency offices rely on these to link family members. Make sure the names on the marriage certificate match each spouse's passport exactly, including surname order.
A marriage certificate is verified by the state where it was registered before it goes to MEA. See our marriage certificate attestation page for how states handle this.
Students at Jordanian universities
Jordan's universities attract Indian students, particularly in medicine and engineering. Admission offices commonly ask for attested Class 10 and Class 12 certificates and mark sheets, plus degree papers for postgraduate study. School certificates are verified through the education department of the state, or through the board's own process, before MEA attestation.
Start early. Each certificate travels the full chain separately, and the embassy step comes last.
Arabic translation for Jordan
Arabic is the official language in Jordan, and many offices want an Arabic translation of foreign records. INFINITYGRO arranges certified Arabic translation in India. Some Jordanian bodies prefer a translation made by an approved translator in Jordan, so ask before translating. See our translation options.
Export documents for Jordanian importers
A Jordanian buyer, bank or letter of credit may call for a legalized commercial invoice and certificate of origin. These go through a Chamber of Commerce, then MEA, then the embassy. Commercial documents usually attract higher embassy fees than personal ones.
Make sure the consignee, invoice number and goods description match on every page. See our certificate of origin guide.
Sending documents and avoiding returns
Courier originals to our Delhi office, or drop them off if you are in Delhi NCR. Add a passport copy and a note saying the papers are for Jordan. We confirm costs in writing before work starts and return the documents by Blue Dart or another tracked courier.
Most returned files come back for one of a few reasons:
- Getting an MEA apostille instead of normal MEA attestation
- Experience letters with no notarisation or company stamp
- Invoices signed by a person who is not the authorised signatory
- Laminated degrees that cannot take stamps
We check each paper against these points when it arrives, before it goes to the first authority.

Jordan FAQs
Does Jordan accept an MEA apostille?
No. Jordan is not an Apostille partner, so you need MEA attestation and Jordan embassy attestation.
Do experience letters need attestation?
Often yes. As private documents, they are first notarised, then attested through the usual chain.
How much does the Jordanian Embassy charge?
The embassy sets its own fee, which tends to be higher for commercial papers. We include the current amount in our written quote.
Is there a step in Jordan after the embassy?
Some Jordanian authorities may ask for local authentication. Your employer or the receiving office will know.
Can you handle a full export set?
Yes. Send the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin together so we can check them before the chamber.
Can documents from different states be attested together?
Yes, but each goes to its own state first. The MEA and embassy steps can then be done together for the whole set.
