For employment, study, international marriage, or business in Jordan — a hub of the Middle East — you will need to submit Korean-issued documents to Jordanian institutions. Jordan is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so a Korean document must go through Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmation and legalization at the Jordanian Embassy in Korea. Apostille Korea handles issuance through to consular legalization remotely, in one stop.
What is embassy legalization?
Embassy legalization is the procedure by which the relevant country's embassy in Korea officially verifies the seal or signature on a document so it is recognized as legally effective abroad. The apostille only applies when both the issuing and receiving countries are Convention members. Because Jordan is not a member, a document must go through consular confirmation and embassy legalization — instead of an apostille — to take official effect.
When do you need it?
- Jordan work visa or permanent residence application
- Korea–Jordan international marriage document submission
- Local school admission and study document submission
- Jordan company setup and branch registration
- Corporate account opening and export product registration
- Parental travel consent for a minor traveling alone
