Apostille for Saudi Arabia

Apostille for Saudi Arabia — for employment, academic, and business documents. Saudi Arabia is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so Korean documents are apostilled instead of legalized at the Saudi Embassy in Korea. Arabic translation and other requirements are set by the receiving authority.

Requirements for Saudi Arabia

  • Government and local-authority documents are apostilled by the Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA); notarized private documents by the Ministry of Justice
  • Saudi Arabia is a Hague Convention member — no Saudi Embassy legalization step for Korean documents
  • Arabic certified translation if the receiving authority requires it
  • Confirm translation requirements and any extra formalities with the Saudi receiving authority
