Why You Need a Notary for Saudi Arabia Documents
Saudi Arabia authorities — whether immigration, banking, legal, or professional licensing bodies — require that documents presented from Ireland bear the certification of a qualified notary public. A notarial certificate confirms the authenticity of the document and the identity of its signatory. For Saudi Arabia, this is then typically followed by an apostille or, in some cases, embassy legalisation.
Documents Commonly Required for Saudi Arabia
- Degree and qualification certificates (for iqama/work visa)
- Passport certified copy
- Marriage certificate
- Police clearance certificate
- Medical certificates
- Company documents for Saudi business setup
Common Uses for Saudi Arabia-Bound Notarised Documents
- Iqama (Saudi residency permit) and work visa applications
- Professional licensing with Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS), SASO, or relevant bodies
- Teaching positions requiring authenticated qualifications
- Engineering work requiring SAPL (Saudi Arabian Professional Licence)
- Setting up a business in Saudi Arabia (LLC or branch)
- Saudi Aramco and NEOM project employment documentation
Apostille and Legalisation for Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is not a Hague Apostille Convention country. The authentication chain for documents is: notarisation by Hugh Phelan → apostille from Irish Department of Foreign Affairs → legalisation by the Saudi Arabian Embassy in London (which covers Ireland). Hugh Phelan can guide you through each step.
Saudi Arabia is a major destination for Irish engineers, healthcare professionals, and educators. The Kingdom's Vision 2030 programme has driven significant demand for qualified international professionals. Having your documents correctly authenticated from the outset saves significant time and cost.
