When preparing documents for your Saudi Arabia visa application, you will also need to apostille your Canadian documents. The most commonly requested documents are vital statistics certificates and University Degrees.
Requirements for birth and marriage certificates
Vital statistics certificates, such as birth and marriage certificates, must be apostilled by the appropriate apostille office before they can be used for your Saudi Arabia visa application. These apostille offices function on a jurisdictional basis, determined by the origins of the documents.
If you do not have the original long-form birth or marriage certificate, or it is not the correct format, you may order new certificates from the appropriate Province or Territory below:
- Alberta
- British Columbia
- Manitoba
- New Brunswick
- Newfoundland and Labrador
- Northwest Territories
- Nova Scotia
- Nunavut
- Ontario
- Prince Edward Island
- Quebec
- Saskatchewan
- Yukon
Many of our clients have their new certificates sent straight to our office to save time and shipping fees. We look after the apostille and ship your completed documents wherever you like.
Requirements for University Degrees
Your original University degree will need to be apostilled. In addition, all educational documents must be certified by the Saudi Arabia Cultural Bureau in Ottawa. You should know that they have specific supporting document requirements, including a copy of your University transcripts sent directly to the Cultural Bureau from your University to support the certification of your degree. Contact our office for the full list of the Cultural Bureau’s requirements.
How our apostille services can help
If you are using a visa service to submit your application, they too will need to have your Canadian documents apostilled. Visa service companies that are not located in Ottawa will likely outsource the apostille process to an Ottawa service provider.
