Legalisation of UK Documents for Use in the State of Qatar

 

Legalisation of UK Documents for Use in the State of Qatar

If you need to use a UK-issued document in Qatar, it must go through a four-step legalisation process to be officially recognised. This ensures that your document is valid and accepted by Qatari government agencies, employers, and other institutions. While the process can be time-consuming, HireMate Services can handle everything for you, making it simple and stress-free.

Step 1: Notarisation (If Required)

Certain documents, such as powers of attorney, affidavits, and academic certificates, may first need to be notarised by a UK solicitor or notary public. This step verifies the authenticity of the document before it can proceed to legalisation.

---

Step 2: Legalisation by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)

Once notarised (if required), the document must be submitted to the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for an apostille. The FCDO verifies the document's authenticity by confirming the signature and seal of the notary or issuing authority.

---

Step 3: Attestation by the Qatar Embassy in London

After obtaining the apostille, the document must be submitted to the Embassy of Qatar in London for further attestation. The embassy verifies the FCDO's stamp and ensures the document meets Qatar’s requirements.

---

Step 4: Attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Qatar

Once the document arrives in Qatar, it must be submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) for final attestation. This is the last step, confirming that the document is fully legalised and can be used officially in Qatar.
