Embassy of Jordan in Prague

Jordan does not keep an embassy in Prague. The mission accredited to the Czech Republic is at A-1030 Vienna, Rennweg 17/4 — see it on the map (48.19785, 16.37812). There is no consulate of Jordan inside the Czech Republic, so everything goes through that post.

The switchboard is open 09.00 – 16.00 /Mo-Fri/. Consular hours are usually shorter than the switchboard hours. Passport, visa and civil-status matters are almost always handled by appointment, so call 00431-405 10 25 or e-mail info@jordanembassy.at before you travel across the city. Missions close on Czech public holidays as well as on their own national day — for Jordan that is May 25 – Day of Army and Anniversary of the Proclamation of Independence /1946/.

In the Czech Republic a legally binding marriage is performed by a Czech registry office (matrika) or by a church authorised by the Czech state — not by a foreign embassy. A small number of countries allow a consular marriage between two of their own citizens; whether Jordan is one of them is a question only its consular section can answer, so call 00431-405 10 25 or e-mail info@jordanembassy.at. What the mission does do in almost every case is issue or authenticate the paperwork the Czech registry office asks a foreigner for. The whole procedure, venue by venue, is in our guide to the legal requirements for getting married in the Czech Republic.

The Czech registry office asks a foreign national for a valid passport, a full birth certificate (the short version is not accepted), a certificate of no impediment — the certificate of legal capacity to marry, which is the document your own authorities or your embassy issue — an affidavit of marital status sworn before a notary, and, if you were married before, the divorce decree or the death certificate of your late spouse. Every foreign document has to be translated into Czech by a court-appointed translator and carry an apostille or consular legalisation. Start three to six months ahead: verification and appointment slots, not the ceremony, are what take the time. To ask which of these papers Jordan issues for its citizens, call 00431-405 10 25 or e-mail info@jordanembassy.at. Our step-by-step marriage guide lists the fees and the order to do things in.

Bringen Sie Ihren eigenen Fotografen mit – weder die Botschaft noch das tschechische Standesamt stellt einen, und beide gewähren Ihnen ein kurzes, eng getaktetes Zeitfenster in einem kleinen Raum; ein Fotograf, der schon in genau diesem Umfeld gearbeitet hat, ist daher mehr wert als ein großes Objektiv. Zwei praktische Hinweise: Eine Vertretung ist ein sicherheitskontrolliertes Gebäude. Fragen Sie deshalb vorab bei der Konsularabteilung nach, ob ein Fotograf hineindarf und ob sein Name und sein Ausweis am Eingang registriert werden müssen. Und wenn die Trauung selbst in einem tschechischen Standesamt stattfindet, fragen Sie bei der matrika nach, wo der Fotograf stehen darf. Wir führen eine Liste mit in Prag tätigen Fotografen und den besten Fotolocations, einen Ratgeber zur Heiratsantrags-Fotografie in Prag für den Moment vor dem Papierkram und einen Leitfaden zur Stadtfotografie für die Porträts, die Sie danach auf der Karlsbrücke oder in Letná haben möchten.

No. Visas and residence permits for the Czech Republic are issued by Czech embassies and consulates abroad and by the Czech Ministry of the Interior — never by another country’s mission in Prague. The mission of Jordan works the other way round: it serves citizens of Jordan living in or visiting the Czech Republic, and issues visas and documents for Jordan to everyone else. If you are moving here rather than visiting, our guide to living in the Czech Republic covers permits, insurance and costs.

Report the loss or theft to the Czech police first and keep the report — the consular section will ask for it before issuing anything. Then contact the mission: call 00431-405 10 25 or e-mail info@jordanembassy.at. Ask for an emergency travel document, which is normally issued for a single journey home. Outside office hours many missions run an emergency duty line; the switchboard message or the website usually gives it, so note the number down before you need it.

No. Jordan runs a single office for the whole Czech Republic — the one listed on this page. Other countries do keep honorary consulates in Brno, Ostrava or Plzeň; you can check any of them in the full directory of missions.

The number already carries its own international prefix: dial +4314051025. Note that this is not a Czech number, so it is not a local call from Prague. Every number on this page is a tap-to-call link.

Usually yes, but only in one direction. A mission certifies signatures and copies for its own citizens and legalises documents issued in its own country. A Czech document that you need to use in Jordan normally has to be apostilled by the Czech authorities first — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for administrative documents, the Ministry of Justice for court and notarial ones — and only then presented to the consular section. Which route your particular paper takes depends on whether both countries are in the Hague Apostille Convention, so call 00431-405 10 25 or e-mail info@jordanembassy.at and describe the document before you pay for anything.
