Jordan certificate attestation Dubai and notary services for Jordanians
A lot of Jordanian paperwork can now start in the UAE. If a parent in Amman needs to sell a flat for you, or a brother must collect your papers from a ministry, a power of attorney signed before our notary here lets them act. We also notarise affidavits and declarations for the Jordanian embassy, true copies of your passport and certificates, and NOCs, in person, online by video or at your home.

Jordan certificate attestation Dubai offices ask for is the reverse route: a Jordanian degree, Tawjihi, birth record or marriage contract that must pass through the Jordanian ministry that issued it, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in Amman and the UAE embassy in Amman before MOFA attests it here. Both routes are below.

Side by side
Powers of attorney for Jordan: common cases
| Case | What the power must say |
|---|---|
| Selling or renting property in Amman, Irbid or Zarqa | The property, and each act: sell, sign, receive the price |
| Collecting certificates from ministries for your attestation | Which documents and which offices |
| Managing a bank account or a family business | The account or company, and the limits |
| A court case or inheritance in Jordan | The case, and whether the attorney may settle |
A UAE power of attorney has no fixed statutory validity period, but the office in Jordan may ask how recent it is, so sign it when you are ready to use it. We draft in Arabic, which the Jordanian side reads directly. See power of attorney notarised in Dubai.
Step by step
From our notary to an office in Jordan
01
Draft.
We write the power of attorney, affidavit or declaration with you, in Arabic or Arabic and English.
02
Sign.
You sign before our notary in person, by video through UAE remote notarisation channels such as the Ministry of Justice e-Notary system and UAE PASS, or at home. We tell you if your document can be done online.
03
MOFA.
MOFA attests the notarised document. A general power of attorney is on MOFA’s commercial list.
04
Jordanian mission.
The Jordanian embassy or consulate in the UAE legalises it.
05
Send.
You courier it to Jordan, or hand it to a relative travelling home.
The same route, without the notary, applies to a UAE certificate used in Jordan, such as a Dubai birth certificate for the family book. See UAE documents for use abroad.
Jordan certificate attestation Dubai route for Jordanian papers
Each type of Jordanian document belongs to a different ministry, and that first step is where most files go wrong. The order is always the same after it: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in Amman, the UAE embassy in Amman, then MOFA in the UAE. Tell us the document and we check the current first step before your relative goes.
Many Jordanian residents of the UAE have family in Jordan who take the documents to each ministry and to the UAE embassy. Give them the originals, a copy of your passport, and a signed authority letter, or a notarised power of attorney if the office asks for one.
Three things to check on Jordanian papers
The Tawjihi is not always asked for.
A UAE employer normally wants the degree. The Tawjihi matters for a child’s school place, for some licensing bodies, and for university admission in the UAE. Ask before you attest it. See educational certificate attestation.
Marriage contracts from a Sharia court.
Most Jordanian Muslim marriages are registered by a Sharia court, and that contract is the document to attest for a spouse visa. Christian marriages are registered by the church court of the denomination. See marriage certificate attestation.
Names across Arabic and English.
Your Arabic name on a Jordanian document and the English spelling on your passport must clearly refer to the same person. If they do not, a same name affidavit notarised here may help, if the UAE office accepts it.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell my property in Jordan while living in Dubai?
You can give someone in Jordan a power of attorney to do it. You sign it before our notary here, MOFA attests it, and the Jordanian embassy or consulate in the UAE legalises it. Name the property and each act in the power.
Can the Jordanian consulate in Dubai attest my degree for a UAE job?
No. The consulate stamps documents for use in Jordan. A Jordanian degree for UAE use needs the Jordanian ministries and the UAE embassy in Amman before MOFA.
Do I need to translate my Jordanian degree into English?
Not for MOFA, which accepts Arabic. The employer or licensing body might want an English copy for its own records, so ask them.
Which marriage document do I attest for my wife’s visa?
Usually the marriage contract registered by the Sharia or church court, with the Jordanian steps completed. Check the visa office’s list before you start.
Is Tawjihi attestation needed for my child’s school in Dubai?
Only for older students, and only if the school asks. Ask the school for its list in writing first.
