National ID Card in Jordan

The Jordan smart ID card is the main identity document for citizens at home. It is often needed to open accounts, sign contracts, vote, or renew other documents. We prepare the application, book the appointment, and follow the card until it is ready.

How it works in Jordan

These points come from the Civil Status and Passports Department services guide:

• First-time smart ID cards are issued at Civil Status and Passports Department offices, and the applicant must attend in person.
• You bring the application form, proof of identity (or a first-degree relative to identify you), two recent colour photos, and a blood-type test or a written pledge. Applicants under 16 need a guardian's consent.
• At the office your iris, fingerprints, and signature are captured, and you get a text message when the card is ready.
• The fee is JD 2. Citizens who reach 18 without an ID card pay a JD 10 late fine.

Rules and fees change, so we check the official source again before your application goes in.

Before you apply

• Plan for an in-person step. Most authorities take fingerprints, a photo, or a signature themselves.
• Check your names. The spelling should match your passport, birth record, and any naturalisation certificate.
• Have your citizenship evidence ready. New citizens may need the certificate or registration record before the card can be issued.

Why applications get delayed

• Names or dates that differ between documents
• A birth or citizenship record that is not yet in the civil registry
• Missing proof of a name change or marriage
• Photos that do not meet the authority's rules
• Fees paid to the wrong account or for the wrong year

We check each of these before the application goes in.

1. Brief. Tell us whether this is a first card, renewal, or replacement, and where you live.
2. Check and quote. We confirm the route, list the documents, and send you the quote.
3. Documents. You send scans; we check them and arrange translations or certificates if needed.
4. Appointment. We book the visit where fingerprints, photo, or signature are taken.
5. Filing. The application is lodged and the fee is paid to the right account.
6. Collection. We track it until the card is ready and tell you how to collect it.

You receive a quote before any filing starts. It separates the CitizenX fee from government charges, translations, and courier costs. Those extras are added only when they apply, and only after you approve them.

Government fees change, so we confirm them with the issuing authority for your case before you sign.
