How to register a marriage or birth

Have you registered with the British Embassy? If you are a British citizen and live in Jordan, please contact the British Embassy, Consular Section, in order to obtain a registration form.

If you have registered during 2005, please confirm your continuing presence in Jordan by re-registering as soon as possible.  Please also notify the Consular Section about any changes of address and/or telephone number, e-mail address. Such confirmation is in the interest of all British nationals in Jordan.

If names are not re-registered within three months the Embassy will be obliged to consider that those concerned have left the country.  The names will accordingly be deleted from the register.

If you are a citizen of a Commonwealth country which does not have an Embassy or Consulate in Jordan, please ask the British Embassy, Consular Section, about registration formalities.

The following documents are required for Birth registration / certificate:
 
  • Parents’ British passport
  • Parents’ birth certificate (long one) if born in the UK or naturalization certificate
  • Marriage certificate
  • Divorce certificate (if previously married)
  • Child’s local birth certificate issued by the local authorities
 
 
Payment of fees are in Jordanian dinars cash only.  No other method of payment is accepted.
Fees are subject to periodic review.
