Jordan Certificate Attestation in Dubai — Jordanian Document Legalization
How does Jordan embassy attestation work in Dubai?
Jordan is NOT a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Jordanian documents follow the traditional attestation chain: Jordanian institution verification → Ministry of Higher Education (educational) → Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates → UAE Embassy in Amman → UAE MOFA. AttestPort handles the complete process with doorstep pickup and delivery across Dubai.
About Jordan Certificate Attestation
Jordan is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means Jordanian documents must follow the traditional multi-step attestation chain for use in the UAE. The Jordanian community in the UAE is one of the largest Arab expatriate populations, with significant presence in engineering, healthcare, education, and business sectors. The Embassy of Jordan is located on Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoom Street (Airport Road), Diplomatic Area, Abu Dhabi (P.O. Box 4024). There is also a Consulate General of Jordan in Dubai, located on Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road, Umm Hurair 1, Bur Dubai (near Dubai Frame). The Dubai consulate operates Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM — phone: +971 4 397 0500. For attestation purposes, submissions can be made to either the Abu Dhabi embassy or the Dubai consulate. The attestation process for Jordanian documents involves verification by the issuing institution (university, civil authority, or government body), authentication by the Jordanian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (for educational documents), attestation by the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in Amman, legalisation by the UAE Embassy in Amman, and final UAE MOFA attestation once the document reaches the Emirates. The Embassy of Jordan in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General in Dubai are the missions for Jordanian consular services in the UAE — MOFA itself processes documents issued abroad through UAE missions abroad. Jordanian educational documents from major universities such as the University of Jordan, Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), Yarmouk University, and the German Jordanian University are commonly processed for use in the UAE. Recognition of any foreign university qualification is decided by MoHESR on application — automatic recognition applies only to UAE-based institutions. The Tawjihi (General Secondary Education Certificate) and university degrees both require the full attestation chain. AttestPort coordinates with partners in Amman for the Jordan-side processing and handles all UAE-side steps from our Dubai office.
