Personal Document Attestation
Personal Document Attestation
Family reunification and residency applications in Jordan require a specific set of attested personal documents. The Jordanian Civil Status and Passports Department and the Ministry of Interior examine marriage certificates, birth certificates, and police clearance reports as part of every residency and dependant sponsorship application. These documents must carry the complete attestation chain, from home-country authentication through Jordanian Embassy stamping, before they will be accepted for processing.
Personal documents for Jordan carry particular weight because Jordanian family law is detailed and specific. Marriage certificates must align with the legal requirements of the Civil Status Department, and birth certificates for dependants must clearly establish the parent-child relationship. Police clearance certificates must be recent and cover the applicant's country of citizenship and most recent country of residence. Any inconsistency in names, dates, or relationships across documents will trigger additional scrutiny and potential delays that can extend the residency process by months.
GreenAttest processes personal documents for Jordan with the care and attention these sensitive materials demand. We perform a thorough cross-check of all documents in your set at intake, verifying that names, dates, and relationship details are consistent across every certificate. Our team then manages the attestation chain from notarization through Jordanian Embassy stamping, ensuring your personal documents arrive at the Jordanian authorities as a coherent, properly attested package.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Ensure all names on your personal documents are spelled identically to how they appear in your passport, as Jordanian authorities are strict about name consistency.
- If your marriage was registered in a country different from where the ceremony took place, you may need documentation from both jurisdictions. Discuss your situation with GreenAttest during the initial consultation.
- Process all family members' documents as a single package rather than individually to maintain consistent timelines and avoid submitting an incomplete application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Each adult applicant aged 18 and above included in a family reunification or residency application typically needs their own police clearance certificate. Certificates must be from the applicant's country of citizenship and, if different, their most recent country of residence. GreenAttest can process multiple family members' documents simultaneously.
Jordan recognizes marriages performed under various religious traditions, provided the marriage certificate is properly issued and authenticated. Religious marriage certificates may require additional verification from the relevant religious authority before entering the standard attestation chain. GreenAttest can advise on the specific requirements based on the type of marriage certificate you hold.
UAE-issued birth certificates follow a streamlined attestation path since they do not require home-country authentication. They proceed directly through UAE notarization, MOFA, and Jordanian Embassy attestation. GreenAttest handles UAE-issued documents frequently and can process them faster than documents that require international authentication.
Jordanian authorities generally require police clearance certificates issued within the last six months. Given the attestation processing time, GreenAttest recommends obtaining your clearance no more than three months before you plan to submit your residency application in Jordan to ensure it remains within the validity window.
