When you finish study or work in China and prepare for employment, business, or study in Jordan, you may need to submit Chinese-issued documents to Jordanian institutions. China is a non-Hague country, so Chinese documents bound for Jordan cannot use the apostille — they require notarization, Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization, and Jordanian Embassy consular legalization. Apostille Korea handles issuance support through legalization remotely, in one stop.
What is embassy legalization?
Embassy legalization is the procedure by which the relevant country's embassy verifies the authenticity of a public document so it is recognized legally abroad. Between non-Hague countries the apostille cannot be used. A Chinese document bound for Jordan must complete Chinese notary-office notarization, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization, and Jordanian Embassy consular legalization — three steps — before it takes effect.
When do you need it?
- Academic/career proof for a Jordan work visa
- A transcript and diploma for Jordan university admission or transfer
- Local company setup document certification in Jordan
- Corporate document certification for Jordan business contracts
- A criminal record for Jordan immigration or permanent residence
- Family relation and marriage documents for international marriage
Key documents
| Document | Main use |
|---|---|
| Diploma / degree certificate | University admission, employment |
| Career certificate | Work visa, employment |
| Criminal record certificate | Immigration, permanent residence |
| Family relation / marriage certificate | International marriage |
| Corporate documents | Company setup, business contracts |
China–Jordan route notes
Jordan is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so even though China itself joined the Convention, a document bound for Jordan cannot rely on an apostille alone and must go through consular legalization. A Chinese public document is notarized and confirmed by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then legalized by the Jordanian Embassy. Confirm the Arabic translation requirement with the receiving body in advance.
