TL;DR. Jordan’s official business registry is the Companies Control Department (CCD). https://ccd.gov.jo is online, with an Arabic home titled دائرة مراقبة الشركات and an English path titled Home Page - Companies Control Department. Company-search links on that home point at https://portal.ccd.gov.jo, which does not present a valid certificate and so cannot be loaded securely; the inquiry links it carries cover search by company name, by partner and by registration. The English fee list page loads but its English body is unavailable, so Jordanian dinar fees are unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
What is the official Jordan business registry?
The Companies Control Department (CCD) maintains Jordan’s central company registry under the Companies Law No. 22 of 1997 and its subsequent amendments. The CCD operates under the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply. The public-facing department site is https://ccd.gov.jo. The Arabic home is titled دائرة مراقبة الشركات, and the English path https://ccd.gov.jo/Default/En is titled Home Page - Companies Control Department.
Search links on that home (by name, by number, and related inquiry pages) point at https://portal.ccd.gov.jo. That portal does not present a valid certificate, so it cannot be loaded securely. Ignoring the certificate reveals a page titled دائرة مراقبة الشركات carrying paths such as /searchcriteria and /search/by-name, which is not the same as a securely reachable search.
The CCD registers limited liability companies, public and private shareholding companies, partnerships (general and limited), branches of foreign companies, and representative offices.
What can you search?
Department-home search links target portal.ccd.gov.jo, which cannot be loaded securely. The inquiry entries it lists include company legal-status inquiry, dissolved-company certificate inquiry, search by company name, and search by partner name. Field lists for directors, shareholders and capital could not be confirmed there; confirm at source.
UBO disclosure under Regulation No. 62 of 2022 is described in Jordan law. Public searchability of beneficial-owner data could not be confirmed on the portal; confirm at source.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (JOD) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Public company name search | Unknown | Unknown |
| Basic company profile (online) | Unknown | Unknown |
| Certified extract (in-person) | Unknown | Unknown |
https://ccd.gov.jo/En/List/Fee_list is titled Fee list - Companies Control Department, but its English body is unavailable and shows an Arabic notice instead, so no Jordanian dinar tariff could be read there. The table above therefore reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
Do you need a local account or ID?
The department home is reachable without a login. The portal carries /account/login and /account/companylogin paths, but account rules for inquiry as against filing could not be confirmed on a securely reachable page. A basic name search has been reported as needing no Jordanian ID; confirm at source.
Is the website in English?
Partial. https://ccd.gov.jo/Default/En is an English department home. The searchable portal paths are Arabic. Company names in Jordan are registered in Arabic.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown. The CCD does not publish a turnaround time where it could be read, and portal.ccd.gov.jo cannot be loaded securely; confirm at source.
Is there an API?
No public API for the CCD registry is documented on ccd.gov.jo. OpenCorporates indexes Jordan CCD filings as an aggregator but lags official data and should not be used for compliance-grade verification.
What you legally cannot do
The CCD portal terms, when reachable, restrict automated bulk scraping. Registry data may not be republished commercially without authorisation. Jordan’s Personal Data Protection Law governs personal information in registry extracts. Compliance buyers using CCD data for KYC, AML, or counterparty due diligence should document the stated purpose.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- Arabic-first registry. Authoritative filings are in Arabic. Plan for translation of extracts.
- Company registration number is the anchor identifier. Verify by number rather than name alone.
- Portal certificate problem. portal.ccd.gov.jo fails certificate verification, so the search behind it cannot be loaded securely.
- Fee list English path empty. Do not quote JOD figures from memory. Confirm tariffs with CCD.
- MENAFATF context. Jordan is a MENAFATF member. Confirm current FATF status at fatf-gafi.org. For a broader MENA due diligence framework, see our Global Business Due Diligence Guide.
Alternatives if you cannot access CCD directly
- Aggregator search (indicative only): OpenCorporates indexes CCD filings but lags official data.
- Local corporate service providers: Amman-based law firms and corporate service agents retrieve CCD extracts and translations.
Local data suppliers
- Systemday (systemday.com). International due diligence data provider offering Jordan company search reports sourced from official registries. Suitable for initial screening when direct portal access is impractical; primary-source CCD extracts should be confirmed for compliance-critical decisions.
Use the CCD registry for the authoritative legal filing record. Use a commercial bureau when you need credit risk indicators or payment-behaviour data on top of the registry extract.
FAQ
Can a foreign company access the Jordan CCD registry directly?
The department site https://ccd.gov.jo is reachable. The search portal https://portal.ccd.gov.jo does not present a valid certificate, so it cannot be loaded securely; confirm at source.
What is the company registration number in Jordan?
The CCD assigns a registration number to each company at incorporation. This number serves as the primary identifier in the CCD system and across Jordanian government agencies.
What entity types are registered with CCD?
The CCD registers limited liability companies, public and private shareholding companies, general and limited partnerships, foreign company branches, and representative offices. Sole proprietorships are registered separately with local licensing authorities. Non-profit organisations and societies are registered with the Ministry of Social Development.
Does Jordan have a beneficial ownership (UBO) registry?
Jordan issued Regulation No. 62 of 2022 under the Companies Law on beneficial owners. Public searchability of that data could not be confirmed on the portal; confirm at source.
How current is the data in the CCD registry?
Data freshness is not stated on a securely reachable search result page. Confirm the most recent filing date on any extract at source.
Is Jordan on the FATF grey list?
No. Jordan is not on the FATF grey list (Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring) as last recorded here. See fatf-gafi.org for current status.
What’s the difference between the registry and tax or financial filings?
The CCD registry covers entity existence, structure, ownership, and authorisation to operate. Tax registration is managed by the Jordan Income and Sales Tax Department. Financial statements are not publicly accessible through the CCD for private companies; listed companies disclose financials through the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE).
