Issuance of no criminal record certificate amended

AMMAN — Prime Minister Hani Mulki has issued directives to circulate the Justice Minister’s letter to the ministries, institutions and departments regarding amendments related to issuance of criminal record certificate, which is one of the new e-government services, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

According to the new regulations, certificates are required for three purposes: those required by national institutions — including the public and private sectors — can be obtained online; while certificates required by non-Jordanian institutions such as embassies and to run for parliamentary, municipal council and local council elections have to be obtained in person.

The applicant can verify the authenticity of the certificate on the Justice Ministry’s website.
