Power of Attorney — Qatar
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.
Power of Attorney for use in Qatar
Powers of Attorney usually need to be signed in the presence of a solicitor or notary and then apostilled before they can be used in Qatar. The exact wording, the witnessing requirements and whether embassy legalisation is also needed depend on the authority in Qatar receiving the document.
Embassy of the State of Qatar, London — Legalisation Department
1 South Audley Street, London W1K 1NB
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
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
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.
