If you want to ensure that your academic certificates from a German university are properly authenticated for authentication in Jordan, this guide will walk you through the necessary steps. Following these steps will make your certificates valid for further education, professional purposes, or other official uses in Jordan.

Step 1: University-Level Authentication

The first step in the authentication process is to have your academic documents certified by your university in Germany. This involves working with the university’s central administration, specifically the Rechtsangelegenheiten und Qualitätsmanagement in Lehre und Studium (Office of Legal Affairs and Academic Quality Management).

Alternatively, you may need to contact the appropriate regional government office based on the location of your university:

• Regierung von Oberbayern (Upper Bavaria): For universities in Munich and surrounding areas.
• Regierung von Niederbayern (Lower Bavaria): For universities in cities like Landshut and Passau.
• Regierung der Oberpfalz (Upper Palatinate): For universities in Regensburg.
• Regierung von Oberfranken (Upper Franconia): For universities in Bayreuth and Bamberg.
• Regierung von Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia): For universities in Erlangen and Nuremberg.
• Regierung von Unterfranken (Lower Franconia): For universities in Würzburg.
• Regierung von Schwaben (Swabia): For universities in Augsburg and Kempten.

Cost: Typically around 20 Euros per document, though this may vary depending on your university and region.

Step 2: Federal Authentication

After your documents are authenticated at the university level, the next step is to get them authenticated by the German Federal Office for Foreign Affairs (Bundesamt für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten). This federal authentication, known as Beglaubigungen/Apostille, is necessary for your documents to be internationally recognized.

Step 3: Authentication by the Jordanian Embassy in Berlin

Once your documents are authenticated by the German Federal Office for Foreign Affairs, they must be further authenticated by the Jordanian Embassy in Berlin to be valid in Jordan.

1. Prepare Your Documents: Ensure all your documents have been authenticated at both the university and federal levels.
2. Payment: The authentication fee is 11.25 Euros per document.
3. Submission: Send your authenticated documents, along with proof of payment and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your documents, to the Jordanian Embassy in Berlin.
