Saudi Arabia Embassy in Canada Educational Document Attestation: Trusted Legalization Services
The Saudi Arabia Embassy in Canada has established specific requirements for the attestation process of educational documents intended for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Legalization of Educational Documents via the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau and Consulate Section at the KSA Embassy in Canada
Before using Canadian documents in Saudi Arabia, they typically need to be authenticated with an apostille to verify the official’s signature. Previously, if the destination country was not part of the Hague Apostille Convention—such as Saudi Arabia before 2016—consular legalization through the Embassy of KSA in Canada may have been required. However, since Saudi Arabia joined the Convention in 2016 and Canada became a member on January 11, 2024, the process is now simplified for both countries. An apostille is sufficient, eliminating the need for consular legalization.
However, Saudi Arabia imposes particular rules for legalizing Canadian degrees and transcripts so they can be accepted there. These documents must go through authentication by both the Canadian government and the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau in Ottawa. Given how complex and time-intensive this can be, we can handle the entire process on your behalf. Our thorough understanding of every step ensures your educational documents are properly legalized for use in Saudi Arabia.
Our company possesses extensive expertise in document authentication and attestation procedures at the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Ottawa, leading to smooth processes throughout the entire documentation requirement. Our organization has effectively legalized and attested Canadian documents intended for Saudi Arabia.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do if My Documents to Apply Internationally Are Declined?
If your efforts to authenticate or legalize educational documents do not succeed, we are here to assist you in addressing any deficiencies. Occasionally, a refusal from a KSA embassy or the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau may happen because of absent stamps or translations that do not meet the required standards. We can address these promptly. After making the necessary corrections, we confirm that the item has been accurately authenticated by Global Affairs Canada and verified by the embassy and the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau.
We maintain a flexible approach from the initial review to finalizing your document attestation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the KSA embassy may alter regulations, but we remain vigilant, guaranteeing that your documents are accurately attested and prepared for their intended destination.
How Should I Prepare My Documents for a Legalization and Authentication Request?
Validate your educational documents related to Saudi Arabia and ensure they fulfill all requirements before starting any authentication and legalization request process. A certified translation needs to accompany the documents when required for this procedure. Assess if a KSA embassy endorsement applies to your case in Canada while verifying the accuracy of all signatures involved.
When every document follows the authentication requirements of Global Affairs Canada alongside KSA embassy standards, you can prevent potential delays during the processing period. Document processing efficiency improves when Canadian documents are appropriately arranged according to standards.
What is the Usual Processing Time for the Document Legalization and Authentication Process?
The length of time differs. Sometimes, the KSA embassy and SACB complete the process in a couple of days; at other times, it may take several weeks. Global Affairs Canada must issue an authentication certificate before attestation at the KSA embassy and the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau.
Once all steps are completed and your status attested by the KSA is finalized, along with the KSA embassy confirming the legalization of your documents, they will be fully recognized internationally. This KSA attestation guarantees smooth acceptance for business, education, or other official purposes.
Should I Translate My Document Before it is Legalized?
A certified translation is required if your document is not English or French. An official and sealed transcript or diploma from any Canadian source must be translated and recognized by Global Affairs Canada, followed by approval from the KSA embassy and the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau. Checking language requirements before submission helps avoid rejections or delays.
What Factors Should You Consider When Requesting Authentication and Legalization?
Verify if the destination country, such as Saudi Arabia, is a signatory to the apostille agreement. If yes, an apostille simplifies the process; if no, a more intricate legalization procedure is necessary. The guidelines from the KSA embassy for educational documents will prevent any unforeseen problems. The verification process of your items through both Canadian Global Affairs and the KSA embassy in Canada and SACB ensures a trouble-free process with no unexpected obstacles. To achieve document legalization success, you must track requirements, manage timetables and follow procedures.
