Commercial document attestation is the formal process of authenticating business-related documents for validity in international transactions. This procedure verifies document authenticity and legitimacy, crucial for global business operations, especially for companies expanding internationally. The process certifies that business documents are genuine, legally recognized, and accepted by foreign authorities, establishing their credibility for various commercial purposes. In international law, this process called document legalization / authenticates certificates for cross-border acceptance through a chain of certifications from both origin and destination countries. All GCC states mandate commercial document attestation for foreign entities operating within their territories, with processes typically involving sequential verification by originating and receiving country authorities. While the fundamental structure remains consistent notarization, chamber of commerce validation, embassy legalization, and final ministry attestation implementation details vary significantly across jurisdictions.
