Is Jordan a Hague Convention country?
No. Jordan is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so an apostille will not be accepted there. The document needs U.S. Department of State authentication first, then legalization at the Jordan embassy or consulate — in that order.
The route to Jordan
A Federal Employment Records is issued by Office of Personnel Management, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Jordan, the Department of State’s authentication is then legalized at the Jordan embassy or consulate.
People most often send documents to Jordan for employment and family matters. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
