Apostille UK Documents for Saudi Arabia
Fast, reliable apostille services for UK documents to be used in Saudi Arabia. With KSA now part of the Hague Convention, the FCDO apostille is the only UK-side legalisation step needed.
Why Apostille Documents for Saudi Arabia
If you need to use a UK document in Saudi Arabia for company setup, regional headquarters licensing, an Iqama, a work permit or a Saudi business contract, it will typically need an Apostille certificate. Companies House documents, certificates of incorporation, UK degrees and academic documents are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Saudi use.
Saudi Arabia acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in December 2022. UK documents apostilled by the FCDO are now accepted directly by Saudi authorities, replacing the previous chain of Saudi Embassy attestation in London and Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation in Riyadh.
