How to check whether Jordan has joined
Countries join the Apostille Convention from time to time. The Hague Conference keeps the list of members in its status table. We last checked it on , when Jordan was not on it.1
Other direction
If your document comes from a member country
An apostille from a contracting party does not by itself make a document usable in Jordan. Ask the authority in Jordan that will receive the document which steps it requires. An apostille only confirms the signature, the role of the person who signed and any seal or stamp on the document. It does not confirm what the document says. The office that receives the document decides what it accepts.
