Educational documents issued from an educational institute based in the UK for the purpose of accreditation from the Ministry of Higher Education of Jordan can be legalised from British Council Amman so there is NO need for the Jordanian Consulate legalisation or Foreign and Commonwealth Office legalisation.
All documents issued in Jordan which need to be used in the UK should be legalised from the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Amman to be able to be legalised by the Jordanian Embassy in London. Legalising such documents is free of charge.

An attached Notarial Certificate to the Power of Attorney is required. The Notarial Certificate should contain:
- A specific reference to the documents behind it.
- A declaration that power of attorney has been signed in the presence of a UK Notary Public or Practising Solicitor, after being satisfied that the signatory ID is original.
- In case of signing on behalf of a company, Notarial Certificate should clearly state that the ‘Practising Solicitor’/‘Notary Public’ is satisfied that the signatory has the full authority and the capacity to sign of behalf of the company.
- Power of Attorney can be a Commercial Document so legalisation fee consequently is £62 when it is related to Business Authorisations. In addition, Power of Attorney can be a Personal Document so legalisation fee consequently is £10 when it is related to Personal Authorisations.
How to pay Legalisation fees:
