The chip card and the national number
Every Jordanian must obtain a national identity card at 16 from the Civil Status and Passports Department. Since 2016 the card has an embedded chip storing the holder's personal data, and all cards issued before 2016 have been replaced. It is valid for ten years from age 18 and five years below that. The key field is the 10-digit national number (الرقم الوطني), which also appears on the holder's birth, marriage and other civil documents.
Non-Jordanians cannot hold this card; residents get a residency card from the police instead, which is a different document. Jordanians living abroad do not need a valid card while away but must apply on their return, so an expired card in a US file is not unusual. We translate both sides and reproduce every number exactly. See our Arabic page.
Digital ID and names
Jordan is moving identity onto the Sanad app. In May 2026 the department's director general said the amended Civil Status Law would give the digital identity the same legal standing as the physical card once published in the Official Gazette. A US office will still usually want a scan of the card, front and back, rather than a screenshot of the app.
The name is printed as given name, father's name, grandfather's name and family name, and we keep all four in that order. A family or tribal name sometimes shown in brackets on other documents is not part of the legal name, and we keep any brackets exactly as printed. Where the card's English spelling, your passport and your US documents disagree, tell us which to follow.

What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
My ID card expired while I was living in the US.
Jordanians abroad need not hold a valid card until they return. We translate the card as it is.
What is the 10-digit number?
Your national number, which links your civil records. We copy it digit by digit.
I have a residency card, not a national ID.
That is the card for non-Jordanians, issued by the police. We translate it the same way.
