Issuing authorities: Ministry of Interior and Civil Status Department
Jordanian passports (jawaz safar) and national identity cards are issued by the Civil Status and Passports Department (Dairat al-Ahwal al-Madaniyya wal-Jawazat) under the Ministry of Interior. Both documents require biometric data collection.
Photo preparation workflow
PhotoID Studio automatically crops, resizes and replaces the background of your photo to meet Jordan's 35×45 mm biometric requirements. You save the processed image to your device and bring it to the authorised application centre yourself.
Tips for taking a good photo
Take the photo against a plain white background with even lighting. Look directly at the camera with a neutral expression. Women who normally wear a headscarf may wear one in the photo, but the full face must be clearly visible.
Common reasons for photo rejection
• Background is not plain white or contains shadows. • Face is partially obscured by glasses, a hat or hair. • Photo is older than 6 months. • Non-neutral expression or open mouth.
