The Jordanian passport (Arabic: جواز السفر الأردني) is issued by the Civil Status and Passport Department (CSPD) for international travel.
Passport types
Jordan issues multiple types of passports:
- Regular passport with a national number: Issued to Jordanian citizens with full Jordanian nationality privileges.
- Regular passport without a national number: Issued to Palestinians in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem who are unable to obtain a Palestinian passport due to not holding Palestinian citizenship. Some Palestinians of East Jerusalem may instead hold Israeli travel documents if they are considered stateless. Palestinians with Palestinian citizenship may also apply for one in Jordan, subject to approval. They start with the letter T, denoting "Temporary". These temporary passports are for travel purposes and do not grant civil rights such as voting or government employment in Jordan.[1]
- Diplomatic passport: issued to the government officers who hold the Special Rank, House of Representatives, and Senate. It's distinguished by its red cover.
Physical Appearance
Jordan's passport is blue. The front side of the passport shows Jordan's coat of arms, with the name of the country above it and the inscription "PASSPORT" below it, as you can see on the image on the right. The passport contains the holder's name, photograph, signature, and date of birth, and other factors that help identify them.
