Qatar is not a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents for Qatar therefore go through consular legalisation: the competent authority and the foreign ministry of the issuing country certify the document, and the Qatar embassy or consulate legalises it.
Foreign degrees, police certificates, civil-status and corporate documents for Qatar pass through the issuing authority or a notary, the foreign ministry of the issuing country and the Qatari embassy or consulate there, followed by attestation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Doha.
Qatari documents for use abroad are attested by the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then legalised by the embassy of the destination country in Doha. Qatar does not issue apostilles, so this applies whatever the destination.
Typical cases are degrees and professional licences for employment and healthcare registration, and corporate documents for company formation. Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health and the Qatar Financial Centre have their own document lists, and Arabic translations are commonly required.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Qatar.
- Check the Ministry of Public Health or QFC document list before starting the chain
- Plan the embassy legalisation in the country that issued the document – it cannot be done in Qatar
- Ask whether an Arabic translation is required and who may certify it
