Step-by-step Engineering Certificate Attestation Process

The steps involved in the Saudi Arabian attestation of an engineering certificate involve the following:

• Verification from the Issuing Educational Institution: First, get your engineering certificate attested by the issuing educational institution in your home country. Verification by the institution confirms the genuineness of the certificate and that it is issued by a recognized institution.
• Notary Public Attestation: First, it is verified by the institution itself. Then, it is sent to a notary public for attestation. This verification by the notary public becomes a primary step for verification, thereby authenticating the document before it gets processed in the hands of higher authorities.
• HRD attestation: This is obtained from the Human Resource Development department of the state where the certificate was issued. It further confirms the genuineness of the document and authenticates that it has been awarded by a recognized institution.
• Embassy Attestation by the Saudi Arabian Embassy: After attestation from the MEA, the document is sent for further attestation to any of the Saudi Arabian Embassy or the Consulate in your home country. This verifies that the document is acknowledged by the authorities in Saudi Arabia.
• Attestation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Finally, once the document reaches Saudi Arabia, it is attested by MOFA. This has to be done because, without attestation, any document cannot be accepted legally or hold any official value in Saudi Arabia.
• Apostille Attestation : (If Applicable) If your country of origin has signed the Hague Apostille Convention, then the Embassy attestation would be substituted by an Apostille attestation. It simply attaches the Apostille stamp to the document, which is much easier and also makes it valid for immediate use in Saudi Arabia.
