Documents

Birth Certificates

Available.

Marriage Certificates

Death Certificates

Available. Obtainable from the Ahwal El Madanieh (the Civil Register Office).

Police Records

Available to resident Jordanian citizens and foreigners. The General Intelligence Directorate (GID) is responsible for issuing good conduct certificates. They are considered to be reliable, but cover primarily security-related records, i.e. not necessarily criminal information. These certificates must be applied for in person at the local GID office, and are valid for one year. It takes up to two weeks to obtain the certificate from the GID. Foreigners must reside continuously in Jordan for six months before the GID will issue a certificate. There are no procedures to obtain these certificates through Jordanian embassies in foreign countries.

Prison Records

Available. Obtainable through Public Security Directorate (police) offices. Relatives can obtain these records if the applicant resides outside Jordan. Some convictions are expunged in periodic amnesties, therefore individual records may not be complete.

Military Records

Unavailable.

Ordinary passports are valid for five years and can be renewed for an additional five year period at any Jordanian diplomatic or consular office abroad.
