Translation
A Russian notarised translation is accepted
  1. 1

    Check the notarised copy before you apply

    The stamp is only affixed to an original of the established form and in good condition. A laminated document, a Soviet-era form or one with corrections will not be apostilled: you need a duplicate first.

  2. 2

    Have a notarised copy made

    1 working day

    The notary certifies that the copy is a true copy. The apostille is then affixed by the Ministry of Justice to the notary's signature, so the original stays with you.

  3. 3

    Have the document translated into Arabic and notarised

    1–3 working days

    The translation is bound to the document and the translator's signature is certified by a Russian notary. Such a translation is accepted in Qatar.

  4. 4

    Have the notary's signature certified by the Ministry of Justice

    3–5 working days

    The first link in consular legalisation: the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice confirms the signature and seal of the notary on the copy or the translation.
