Legalising South African Documents for Qatar

If you need to use your South African documents in Qatar, you will need to have them legalised (also known as 'attested'). Whilst you could do this yourself, we can take away all the hassle associated with this long-winded process for you. Whether you have a South African degree or other qualification, a birth, marriage or death certificate, or in fact any other personal or company document originating from South Africa, find out below what’s involved so you avoid any costly errors.

How does it work?

Legalising a document issued in South Africa can be complicated, especially as the requirements can change depending on who you need to present it to, and exactly what type of document it is. It’s harder still if you are no longer in the country. Fortunately, most documents follow a similar pattern which we’ve broken down for you. There are however some situations where things are a little different, so if you want to make sure that you are fully informed, speak to one of our advisers and we’ll look at your individual circumstances free of charge.
