Indian citizens in Jordan can usually sign a power of attorney before the consular officer at the Embassy of India in Amman. Otherwise it is signed before a Jordanian court notary, authenticated by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, and attested by the Embassy. It must be stamped in India within three months.

Power of Attorney from Jordan: how it works
We draft a specific power for the task, describing the property or account and the attorney holder, and send it with a checklist for the Embassy appointment. Workers in the industrial zones outside Amman often have limited days off, so we make sure everything is ready for a single visit.
In India, we arrange stamping and authentication or registration as the local office requires, and guide the attorney holder through the work.
Where several family members abroad must sign the same power, for example to sell an inherited house, we coordinate matching documents so that the sub-registrar accepts them together.
What clients in Jordan should know
- Carry your passport, residence permit and the unsigned draft.
- Keep the scope specific.
- Revoke the power once the task is done.
