Degree & Transcript VerificationQatar

Qatar acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention, so a UK apostille is now generally accepted by Qatari authorities without further legalisation. Where an authority still requests it, we can arrange attestation through the Qatari Embassy in London.

Degree & Transcript Verification for use in Qatar

Degree certificates and academic transcripts normally need to be verified or certified before they can be apostilled for use in Qatar. Some universities issue a verified copy directly, while others require confirmation from the awarding body. Requirements vary between employers, professional bodies and immigration authorities in Qatar.

Embassy of the State of Qatar, London — Legalisation Department

1 South Audley Street, London W1K 1NB

+44 20 7493 2200 ext. 246

Document Legalisation

The consular departments are not open for in-person enquiries or document drop-offs; documents are submitted by post to the Legalisation Department and each must be certified by a solicitor and apostilled individually.

Embassy legalisation fees

Personal documents£22 per documentCommercial documents£33 per document

How it works

  • Solicitor certification of your document, where required
  • Apostille legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)
  • Qatari Embassy attestation in London, where the receiving authority still requires it

Fees

Documents that require apostille only£150 no VATDocuments that require a certification plus Apostille£180 no VATProcessing a document through any Embassy in London£50 per document

Note: These fees would be in addition to the fees Embassies and Consulates charge for processing and legalising documents. Every Embassy has their own fee structure depending on whether documents are commercial or personal. The exact costs can be confirmed if required.

Since the Convention took effect for Qatar, an apostille is usually sufficient. If you're unsure whether your receiving authority still needs embassy attestation, confirm with them first and we'll arrange exactly what's required.
