  Salam Alaikum Sister, Goto one of Masjids in Amman and the Immam can guide you as to what you need to do. I do not believe the US embassy will be able to peform a marriage. You may be able to get some kind of Marriage License though.

  I can tell you, for certain, that the US Embassy does not perform marriages and there are no civil marriages performed in Jordan. You should contact the Shari’a court in Amman and inquire as to the requirements for you to marry there. It definitly requires more than passports. You both will have to show proof that you are free to marry…if you have been married before, you will need proof of the dissolution of that marriage through either judgement of divorce or death certificate, both of which will have to be translated into Arabic and authenticated..you may both also need your birth certificates, also translated into Arabic and authenticated. It’s best you check with the court or just go to a masjid and ask the Imam to make sure you have all of the correct documentation. Good Luck!
