Consular legalization is a necessary step to ensure that documents are legally recognized in Qatar, serving purposes such as employment, studying abroad, marriage, or investment. Given the complex process, choosing a full-service consular legalization provider will save you time and ensure that your documents are handled accurately. Below is detailed information on the consular legalization service for Qatar in 2025 and the latest pricing at No.1 Translation.
Why is consular legalization for Qatar necessary?
The Hague Convention (also known as the Convention on the Abolition of the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents) is an international treaty that simplifies the document legalization process between member countries.
However, since Qatar and Vietnam are not members of this convention, documents from Vietnam cannot be automatically recognized in Qatar without going through the consular legalization procedure.
This means that if you want to use Vietnamese documents such as degrees, birth certificates, employment contracts, or other documents in Qatar, you must undergo consular legalization to ensure that these documents are legally recognized.
Common Types of Documents That Require Consular Legalization for Qatar
The following are common types of documents that clients most frequently request for consular legalization from Qatar:
- Personal documents: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, ID cards, passports, property ownership certificates, death certificates.
- Academic documents (degrees, certificates): Diplomas, certificates, transcripts, scholarship certificates, graduation certificates.
- Business and commercial documents: Business registration certificates, commercial contracts, financial reports.
- Legal and judicial documents: Court judgments, court decisions, legal certificates, criminal record certificates, tax-related certificates.
- Medical documents: Medical certificates, health check certificates, vaccination certificates.
- Financial and tax documents: Tax-related documents, personal or business financial statements.
Consular legalization procedure for Vietnamese documents intended for use in Qatar
Step 1: Obtain Documents from the Competent Authority
To use documents in Qatar, you need to obtain them from the competent authorities in Vietnam. For example, birth certificates from the People’s Committee or divorce extracts from the Court.
Some documents not issued by state authorities (such as contracts or agreements) need to be translated into English and Arabic (unless the documents are bilingual). Afterward, the translations must be legalized at a Notary Office, with all pages stamped and initialed.
Step 2: Consular Legalization for Qatar at the Competent Authority in Vietnam
After obtaining the notarized translation, you need to perform the consular legalization procedure at the competent authority in Vietnam. This is done by the Consular Department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hanoi or the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ho Chi Minh City.
- Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Hanoi): No. 40 Tran Phu, Ba Dinh, Hanoi.
- Ho Chi Minh City Department of Foreign Affairs: No. 6 Alexandre de Rhodes, District 1, HCMC
This authority will verify signatures and seals of the issuing agency and confirm by affixing a legalization stamp to the documents.
Service fee: 30,000 VND per stamp
Step 3: Legalization at the Embassy of Qatar
After legalization at the competent Vietnamese authority, the next step is legalization at the Embassy of Qatar in Hanoi.
