Indian Document Attestation for Saudi Arabia

GloboPrime – Your Trusted Partner for Indian Document Attestation in India, Chennai Tamil Nadu

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Apostille Convention on 23 January 2023. This simplifies the process of authenticating and legalizing Indian documents for use in Saudi Arabia. Previously, Saudi Embassy attestation was required, which involved a more complex procedure. Now, as a member of the Hague Convention, Saudi Arabia accepts apostille attestation as the sole requirement for recognizing the legality of documents from other member countries, such as India. This change streamlines various processes, including recruitment and immigration, for both Saudi Arabian nationals and foreign nationals.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is an internationally recognized form of authentication that confirms the origin of a public document. It is a square-shaped stamp affixed to the document, verifying its genuineness and the legitimacy of the signatures and seals on it. The apostille is issued by a designated authority in the country where the document was issued. In the case of India, this authority is the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The Hague Apostille Convention, an international treaty, introduced the apostille to simplify the legalization of documents for international use. It replaces the cumbersome traditional legalization procedures with a single apostille certificate, thereby facilitating easier cross-border transactions and interactions. A key benefit of the apostille is that once a document is apostilled, it is accepted by all other signatory countries without requiring further authentication.
