Accession to The Hague Convention Approved


The Council of Ministers of Saudi Arabia enacted the Royal Decree M/40 dated 26/05/1443 H approving the Kingdom’s accession to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents (Apostille). It is expected that the legal formalities for accession will be completed during the year.

Under current practice, official documents such as Powers of Attorney must be legalized in order to be recognized by the authorities in Saudi Arabia.
