We can attest a wide variety of documents for people getting married in Qatar, wishing to get residence or a family visa there, wanting to do business in Qatar, or for those seeking medical treatment there.
Attestation at the Qatar embassy helps ensure that the documents are genuine and recognised by the Qatari authorities. This process adds an extra layer of validation to the documents, making them acceptable for official use in Qatar.
Please note: Besides attesting South African documents, the Qatar embassy in Pretoria also can legalise or attest documents issued in neighbouring countries such as Botswana, Zimbabwe, Angola, Lesotho and Namibia. These documents will need to be officially issued and apostilled in their countries of issue and then stamped at the local high commission in Pretoria. Please contact us for more details if you need these documents attested as there are special restrictions and procedures for each country

DIRCO Legalisation
+
Qatar is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention and will not accept documents that have been apostilled at DIRCO. Instead, DIRCO will issue a Certificate of Authentication for documents intended for Qatar that certifies that the signature on the document is from a recognised official at a South African government department.
Documents that have been notarised and then apostilled at a High Court also have to be sent to DIRCO to have this Certificate of Authentication added before they can be attested at the Qatar embassy
Contact us for more details, we are able to assist with the entire process.
More Information
Documents attestation at the Qatar embassy can be a confusing and lengthy process, as almost all documents will need to be legalised first at DIRCO with a Certificate of Authentication before being sent to the embassy to get the attestation stamp added.
Most official government documents or government verified documents have to go through this process, including but not limited to:
- Unabridged Birth Certificates
- Unabridged Marriage Certificates
- Police Clearance Certificates
- Letters of No Impediment to Marriage
- SAQA verified academic degrees
- Umalusi verified matric certificates
- HPCSA verified medical certificates
Other documents normally have to be notarised and then apostilled at a High Court and then sent to DIRCO to get a Certificate of Authentication added. These verification and authentication processes can take a long time and it is essential that you plan and prepare beforehand to ensure that you obtain the Qatar attested documents in time for your intended purpose. The DIRCO Certificate of Authentication process can take up to 6-8 weeks.
Many people make the mistake of getting documents apostilled at DIRCO, or thinking a simple high court apostille will be sufficient for this, which can delay the application by months while these mistakes are corrected. It is very important that the right steps are followed from the very beginning.
We can assist with every step of this process, and ensure that you have peace of mind and no delays.
