On December 7, 2022, Saudi Arabia officially became the 122nd member to accede to the Convention Abolishing the Requirements of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, commonly referred to as the “Apostille Convention”. Delays should be expected as consulates implement the new processes.
The new process allows documents originating in Saudi Arabia, such as education certificates and birth certificates, and those legalized according to the requirements of the treaty, to be accepted in the 121 member countries. It also allows documents similarly processed and originating from other Hague member countries, to be accepted in Saudi Arabia.
It is currently unclear if Saudi Arabia will adopt the e-App Program (the electronic Apostille Program that allows electronic issuance and verification of Apostilles around the world). Fragomen will report on any developments.
