Translation & Document Attestation
Legal translation and attestation that government offices and employers accept.
A degree certificate, a birth certificate or a commercial invoice only counts in Qatar once it has been translated and attested through the right chain. That chain starts in the issuing country, passes through its foreign ministry and the Qatari embassy there, and finishes at Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs — with a legal Arabic translation attached.
We handle each link, for personal, educational and commercial documents, and tell you at the outset which steps your document actually needs so you are not paying for stamps nobody asked for.
What's included
- Legal translation between Arabic and English, and other languages on request
- Educational document attestation — degrees, diplomas and transcripts
- Personal document attestation — birth, marriage and police clearance certificates
- Commercial document attestation — invoices, certificates of origin and powers of attorney
- Embassy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalisation
- Ministry of Justice notarisation where the document requires it
