Hague Apostille from Saudi Arabia

How the Hague Apostille from Saudi Arabia works

The Hague Apostille (تصديق) is a certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates the signature, seal and capacity of the public official who signed a document in Saudi Arabia, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia (وزارة الخارجية السعودية) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Saudi Arabia — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Arabic or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Apostille Convention in December 2022, officially implementing the apostille system. Documents issued in Saudi Arabia that need to be used in other Hague member countries no longer require consular legalization but instead need an apostille from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This simplifies the process for individuals and businesses dealing with international document recognition, ensuring smoother cross-border acceptance.
