Authentication chain for Certificate of Residence bound for Jordan
Jordan is not (yet) a Hague Apostille member — therefore Certificate of Residence must pass through: Notary Public → MFA Thailand → Jordan Embassy.
After MFA Thailand, the Jordan Embassy in Bangkok must add their consular stamp before the document is usable abroad.
Our team refreshes Jordan requirements quarterly to avoid bounce-back on format changes.
