Types of documents

• Educational Documents: This category contains certificates, diplomas and transcripts issued with the help of academic institutions in the UAE. These documents are commonly verified for positions, admission to higher education institutions, or recognition of professional qualifications in Saudi Arabia.
• Non-education documents: Birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce certificate and death certificate issued by UAE authorities require confirmation for visa programs, family reunification or court proceedings in Saudi Arabia.
• Commercial Documents: These include business registration certificates, invoices, contracts and various business-related files issued through UAE government authorities or chambers of commerce. In Saudi Arabia, they must be attested to legalize business operations, partnerships, and contractual agreements.
• Power of Attorney: The UAE government may also need authorizations for litigation, asset transactions or illustrative functions in Saudi Arabia on papers such as the power of attorney, affidavits and court documents.

Procedure

Step 1. Notary Attestation: This is the initial step in the certificate verification method for files issued in the UAE. It includes verification of the file by a certified public notary. The notary will carefully examine the report to ensure it is current and unaltered. It verifies signatures, seals, dates and other relevant information. Once the notary is satisfied with the record’s authenticity, he will certify it as an authentic reproduction of the original. A respectable seal or notary stamp usually indicates this confirmation on the report. By notarising the report, the notary certifies that the report meets the standards of the law and can be relied upon as legitimate evidence of a unique record. Notarisation is essential to ensure the record is recognised by another government in the UAE and overseas. It serves as a preliminary step to prove the authenticity and integrity of the report before proceeding to the next levels of attestation.

Step 2. Attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs: After notarisation, the record is submitted to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs for verification. MOFA verifies the notary’s signature and seal, confirming the report’s legitimacy and authenticity. The move is critical as it confirms the record’s popularity, much like the government, both in the UAE and for worldwide use.

Step 3. Attestation by the Saudi Arabian Embassy in UAE: Once MOFA verifies the file, it is sent to the Saudi Embassy or Consulate in the UAE. Here, the embassy further verifies the report to ensure that it meets the specific requirements set by the Saudi government. This step is essential to legalizing the file for use in Saudi Arabia..

Step 4. Final Attestation by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs: After the record has been confirmed by the Saudi Embassy or Consulate in the UAE, it is forwarded to the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Saudi Arabia for final verification. At this stage, the Saudi MOFA conducts a radical evaluation of the document to verify its authenticity and ensure it meets all the criteria for popularity in Saudi Arabia. With the help of the Saudi MOFA, this verification method is essential because it confirms that the document meets Saudi legal requirements and can be legally recognized and used for various functions, including employment, education, legal subjects and business transactions within the state. This final step in the attestation technique ensures that the report is fully vetted and equipped for reliable use in Saudi Arabia.
