Certified Translation of Thai Documents for Saudi Arabia

Arabic translation from a licensed translation office, as Saudi authorities require Registry to verify: Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs (mofa.gov.sa) and the Saudi Embassy in Thailand.

Saudi Arabia is not a Hague party: MFA legalisation, Saudi embassy attestation, then Arabic translation as the employer or authority requires.

Employment, degree attestation, medical certificates, family-status documents

Skipping the embassy step · Education documents not verified by the issuing institution first · Documents older than the employer accepts

Legalisation 2–3 working days; embassy 5–10 working days. This excludes the receiving authority's own queue.

No. Documents therefore continue on the legalisation route through the Department of Consular Affairs and the Saudi Arabia embassy, even after 2027. Check status at hcch.net.

They are four separate layers: (1) translating the content, (2) the translator's certificate of accuracy, (3) attestation of a signatory's signature by a lawyer authorised to certify signatures and documents, and (4) legalisation or apostille certifying the seals for cross-border use. The first three cannot replace the fourth.

If the destination requires a translator based in that country, legalise in Thailand first: the translator must render every stamp inside the translation. If the destination accepts a translation prepared in Thailand, translate and certify first, then legalise the translation.

Acceptance is at the receiving authority's discretion, so we do not guarantee outcomes. We confirm the required certification system and document age before starting, and redo our translation work free of charge if the error is on our side.
