Saudi Arabia requirements

Apostille has replaced Saudi embassy attestation

Until December 2022, every document for Saudi Arabia went through MEA attestation and then Saudi embassy attestation. Since Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Apostille Convention, an MEA apostille is accepted instead, with no embassy step.

The state step still comes first: HRD for degrees and diplomas, SDM or Home Department for personal documents, and the Chamber of Commerce for commercial papers. Saudi employers and professional bodies may also ask for separate verification of your qualifications, which is not the same as attestation.
