Section 2: General Queries About Saudi Arabia Embassy London Legalization UK

1. Why Do UK Documents Need Attestation to be Used in Saudi Arabia?

For any document to be considered valid for use in a country other than the one in which it was issued, the document needs to be legalised. For nations that are part of the Hague Convention, an apostille certificate is attached to documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, degrees, diplomas, etc., to legalise them for use in other member states of the Hague Convention. However, nations that are not member states, require attestation of documents by their embassy in the document issuing country. Saudi Arabia is one such country that requires Embassy legalization for all UK documents to be used in the country.

The process of UK document Saudi Arabia embassy attestation is completed in five steps:

1. Checking the documents for the information
2. Certification by a solicitor (if necessary)
3. UK apostille certificate
