Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Apostille Convention on December 7, 2022. Documents issued after that date generally only need an Apostille, where previously they required full embassy legalization.
Some Saudi government departments and employers still ask for extra verification alongside the Apostille out of habit from the older process. We'll flag this possibility when we review your document.
Requirements can change and individual institutions sometimes ask for more than the standard Apostille. We'll confirm current requirements with you before we submit anything.
Every document type is different, and so is every fee: the cost depends on the type and number of documents you need Apostilled, not a flat rate. Contact us below with your document details for an accurate estimate.
Saudi Arabia joined comparatively recently, with the Convention entering into force on December 7, 2022, per the Hague Conference's official status table. Documents prepared before that date generally went through full embassy legalization rather than an Apostille, so timing can matter if you already have older paperwork.
Common reasons Canadians need an Apostille for Saudi Arabia include employment and residency (Iqama) paperwork, recognition of Canadian education credentials, and Powers of Attorney for business or property matters.
