What Does The Term Apostille Mean? Is Apostille And Consular Legalisation In Qatar Different From That In Other Countries?

 An Apostille is a certificate which is issued from the government of one country and added onto existing documents to enable them to be officially recognised if presented to an overseas authority. If a piece of documentation has an Apostille attached to it, its seals and signatures have been confirmed as authentic.

Therefore, the document in question can be used in any country recognising the Apostille, and it will be accepted as valid with no requirements for any further proof or evidence to be supplied.

Documentation from Ireland and the UK intended to be used in Qatar must not only have an Apostille attached, but they must also have an extra layer of legalisation from the Qatar embassy. Both corporate and personal documentation must be attested by the Qatar embassy in order to be accepted as valid in Qatar.

It’s also important to note that educational documents require further documentation to be supplied in order for them to be legalised for use in Qatar. Not only must the educational certificate be presented for legalisation, but a transcript and cover letter from the educational institution must also be supplied.

Which Documents Need To Be Apostilled And Legalised For Use In Qatar?

 Various documents are apostilled and legalised in order to be used in Qatar. They include vital civil records such as marriage, birth, death and divorce certificates, legal proceeding documentation, and official business records.

Documents that can be apostilled and legalised for use in Qatar include:

  • Marriage, divorce, death, and birth certificates
  • Criminal record details
  • Medical reports
  • Powers of attorney
  • Education and degree certificates
  • Commercial register extracts
  • Court decisions
  • Notarised document copies and translations
  • Business records including tax registrations

Are There Differences Between Consular Legalisation Of Documents And The Apostille?

Legalisation and Apostille are two terms that have similar meanings but which mean different things. Both terms refer to document legalisation in order to allow documentation from one country to be recognised in another, but there are two different processes involved.

The Apostille is added to documentation that has been issued on one country which is a member of the Apostille Convention in order for it to be recognised as official in the other countries that are members.

Document legalisation, on the other hand, is required to certify a document as genuine in a country that isn’t an Apostille Convention member. Typically, consular or embassy legalisation is needed for a document that has already been apostilled but that is required for presented in a non-member nation, for example, Qatar.

Qatar demands that documentation be submitted to local consulates or embassies so that an extra level of legalisation can be provided on top of the preliminary certification in order to verify it as true and valid. The process is a complex one and has to be performed in-person, so professional agents are often required.
