UK Document Attestation Process
Reliable & Hassle-Free UK Document Attestation Process
If you’re relocating to Qatar for work, study, business or residency, you’ll need to legalise UK-issued documents such as degree certificates, marriage certificates, or commercial agreements. This legalisation process ensures that your documents are recognised by Qatari authorities. The attestation journey involves several key steps, including verification by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), endorsement from the Qatar Embassy in London, and final approval from Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This guide walks you through each stage to make the process smooth, efficient, and stress-free and valid for official use in Qatar.
Step-by-Step Attestation Process
Documents like degrees or professional certificates, begin by having them certified as true copies by a UK solicitor or notary public. Government-issued documents, such as birth or marriage certificates, typically skip this step and proceed directly to the next stage.
The notarised or original document must be submitted to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office for apostille certification, confirming its authenticity for international use.
Once apostilled, the document must be presented to the Qatar Embassy in London, where it will receive an official stamp of approval.
Upon arrival in Qatar, the document undergoes final verification at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) to complete the legalisation process.
