Commercial document attestation is the process of validating business documents for legal and international use. It includes notarization, MOFA UAE attestation, and embassy legalization for destination countries like Saudi Arabia. This process ensures compliance with trade, licensing, and regulatory requirements.
Attestation is mandatory for verifying the authenticity of business documents required for:
Partnership Validation: Strengthens the authenticity of agreements and contracts with foreign entities.
The process for commercial document attestation in the UAE for use in Saudi Arabia varies depending on the document’s country of issue, document type, and year of issue. To complete the attestation process, the Saudi Embassy in the UAE requires the following documentation:
Ensure all documents are original and free from any tampering.
Provide clear copies of the passport and valid visa of the individual authorized to sign the documents.
A letter on company letterhead addressed to the Saudi Consulate General, stating the purpose for authentication and including contact information of the applicant.
Include registration certificates and any other relevant details of all companies involved.
Relevant Authority:
Mandatory for International Use: Ensures authenticity of UAE-issued documents.
Embassy Submission: Take the MOFAIC-attested documents to the Saudi Arabian Embassy in UAE for legalization. The embassy reviews the documents to ensure they meet Saudi Arabian requirements for legal and commercial use. Upon approval, the embassy affixes its legalization stamp, making the documents ready for use in Saudi Arabia.
Certified Translation Services: If your documents are not in Arabic, they must be translated by a certified translator. The translated documents may also need to undergo notarization and attestation.
Submission in Saudi Arabia: Once your documents arrive in Saudi Arabia, submit them to the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA Saudi Arabia) for final attestation. After verification, MOFA Saudi Arabia provides the final attestation, ensuring your documents are legally recognized for business operations in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs oversees the legalization and attestation of foreign documents to ensure they meet Saudi legal standards.
