Jordanian Laissez-Passer Photo

Identifying the Holder of Jordan’s Emergency Travel Document

For a Jordanian traveller who loses a passport abroad, the relevant consular service can be an emergency travel document. Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises notifying the local authorities and the Jordanian mission, which assesses the circumstances before issuing the appropriate document. A laissez-passer photo request should be understood in this emergency-document context, not as an ordinary passport renewal in Jordan.

Contact the responsible mission through our embassy and consulate directory and establish which supporting records are available. The Ministry’s guidance describes an individual assessment of passport loss, so the photo submission should be coordinated with the office handling the case. Ask for its current instructions on quantities and submission method before assuming spare prints will meet the request.

A current recognisable likeness helps connect the applicant with the surviving identity documents and official records. Check the portrait for clear photo quality, suitable framing and a straightforward facial expression. The detailed requirements below and our photo preparation instructions help prepare the image while the mission confirms the necessary documents.

Keep the travel plans available and discuss the intended route with the consular officer, particularly if another country is involved before arrival home. An emergency document is issued for the circumstances assessed by the mission and should not be treated as a general replacement for all future travel. The photograph supports identity verification, while nationality, the loss report and the proposed journey remain part of the consular decision.
