Legalising Documents from Spain for Qatar

Before you can use your Spanish documents in Qatar, you’ll need to have them legalised (also known as 'attested'). Whether it’s a degree qualification, a birth, marriage or death certificate, or any other Spanish personal or company document, let us handle it – we’ll take away all the hassle for you.

How does it work?

Legalising a document issued in Spain can be complicated, especially as the process differs depending on the type of document and who you’re presenting it to. Often the document may also need to be translated into English or Arabic. We’ve outlined below the usual process that documents need to go through, but please bear in mind that this can vary depending on what you need to legalise.

Notarisation & Certification

Most documents start by needing to be notarised and certified. During this stage, a notary public will check the document is legitimate and sign & stamp it accordingly.

Translation from Spanish to English

Any document written in Spanish will need to be translated into English. Then, the English translation is processed rather than the original, Spanish document. For qualifications and birth, marriage or death certificates that are already in English, this step is not required.
