Saudi Embassy Attestaion

For Saudi Arabia (KSA), the attestation process includes three types of attestation based on your requirements. This process ensures that documents meet the required standards of authenticity for legal or official use in  the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including employment, business, education, or family-related matters:

1) MEA Apostille: (All documents category)

An Apostille is a form of authentication issued for documents to be recognized in foreign countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961. It serves as an official certification verifying the authenticity of signatures, seals, or stamps on a document, ensuring its legal validity abroad, including in Saudi Arabia.

For more details, visit the MEA Apostille page in the Services section.

2. Saudi Consulate Attestation (Non-Educational Commercial Documents)
