Employment Document Attestation
Employment Document Attestation
Obtaining a work permit in Jordan requires a set of properly attested employment documents submitted to the Jordanian Ministry of Labour. This includes professional qualifications, experience letters from previous employers, and in many cases the employment contract with your Jordanian employer. The Ministry of Labour verifies the attestation chain on each document before approving any work permit application, and incomplete or improperly attested documents are the leading cause of permit delays and rejections.
Jordan's labour market has specific requirements that differ from other countries in the region. The Ministry of Labour may request additional documentation depending on the sector and role, such as trade-specific certifications for technical positions or professional body membership for regulated professions. Certain nationalities also face additional documentation requirements under bilateral labour agreements between Jordan and their home countries. Navigating these variations without expert guidance often leads to multiple submissions and extended processing times.
GreenAttest brings direct experience with Jordanian work permit documentation requirements. We assess your specific role, sector, and nationality to determine the exact document set needed, then process each item through notarization, UAE MOFA, and Jordanian Embassy attestation. Our team stays current with Ministry of Labour requirement changes and bilateral agreement updates, ensuring your documents meet the latest standards when they reach the Jordanian authorities.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Ask your Jordanian employer to confirm the exact document list required by the Ministry of Labour for your specific role before starting the attestation process.
- If you work in a regulated profession, check whether the relevant Jordanian professional association has additional requirements beyond the Ministry of Labour standard.
- Retain copies of all attested documents before sending them to Jordan, as you may need them for future visa renewals or permit extensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most work permit applications require both educational qualifications and employment experience documentation. The Ministry of Labour uses your educational certificates to verify you meet the minimum qualification requirements for the role. GreenAttest can process both educational and employment documents together to ensure your application package is complete.
Yes. Once GreenAttest delivers the fully attested documents, your Jordanian employer typically handles the Ministry of Labour submission as part of the work permit sponsorship process. We can coordinate delivery directly to your employer's office in Amman or other Jordanian cities if that is more convenient.
Yes. Regulated professions such as engineering, medicine, accounting, and law have additional documentation requirements through their respective professional associations in Jordan. Technical and trade roles may require specific vocational certifications. GreenAttest identifies these sector-specific requirements during our initial assessment and includes all necessary documents in the attestation package.
There is no fixed expiry on the attestation stamps themselves. However, the Ministry of Labour may question the relevance of experience letters that are several years old. Employment contracts and offer letters should be current. GreenAttest recommends obtaining fresh experience letters from previous employers if your existing ones are more than two years old.
