  • ‘The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Jordan
  • The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office Apostille
  • The Arab-British Chamber of Commerce

However, it does NOT confirm the authenticity of the underlying document and does NOT authenticate either the signature on the original document or the content of the original document in any way. The Consular Section reserves all rights to NOT legalise any document in contrary with Jordanian public order and morals.

(eg Commercial invoices, Certificate of Origin, Certificate of incorporation,Commercial agreements, Memorandums of Understanding, etc., including all documents related to non-personal activities)

Commercial Documents have to be certified and legalised by Arab British Chamber of Commerce or authenticated and apostilled by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The legalisation fee for Commercial Document is £62 per stamp, and it will be processed in THREE WORKING DAYS time from the lodging day.

Personal Documents have to be authenticated and apostilled solely by The Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The legalistion fee for Personal Documents is £10 per stamp and it will be done at the SAME DAY.

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.

Legalising Power Of Attorney:

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.
