Do you need your diploma and transcripts attested through the Qatar Consulate or Embassy office?

At National Apostille, Inc., we take the guesswork out of legalizing your diploma and transcripts for Qatar.  Our trained and knowledgeable staff are available Monday – Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

The Country of Qatar has one Embassy office in Washington DC and three Consulate offices located in California (Los Angeles), Texas (Houston), and New York (NYC).  Depending on the State your documents will be signed and notarized in, the jurisdiction may fall onto one of the four Qatar government offices.

Certifying and legalizing a diploma for Qatar is a multi-step process.  These steps include State certification, U.S. Department of State certification, and Embassy or Consulate legalization.

The Qatar Consulate or Embassy office has strict requirements on attesting diplomas and transcripts.

Here is the list of the six documents we will need (Updated March 2017):
– Copy of your passport
– Notarized original diploma. This must be the original diploma or a new notarized diploma from the school. Black and white or color copies will not be accepted.
– Notarized original transcripts. This must be an original transcript printed by the school on their special tamper resistant paper. Black and white copies will not be accepted. The transcripts must be notarized by the school’s registrar.
– Signed and completed Education Records Consent and Release Form (We will email you this form to complete)
– Signed letter from the school (Enrollment Verification Letter) addressed to the Consulate General of Qatar stating that all of your classes were completed in class and on campus. If any of your classes were completed online, the letter must state the percentage of classes that were completed online. This letter must be an original letter with a ink signature and must be signed and notarized by the school’s registrar. Please see below the key points that must be on the letter.
– Offer letter signed by both the employer and employee.

Verification must include the following key point:

Certificate information is accurate
Enrollment and attendance (Full-time, part-time, distance)
Study and test locations
Degree obtained by the student (diploma: Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctorate)
Duration of the program
The actual time the student spent to get the certificate (Study start date and end date)
If this is a public or private academic institution
If the student attended more than one institution, it must mention this in the letter.
The letter must mention that the classes took place on campus. If the student took classes online, they will need to know how many classes where taken online and the percentage of these classes.
This letter must be signed and notarized by the school’s registrar.

– Any university degree issued before 01/01/2000 must be submitted with a letter addressed to the Consulate of Qatar proving the completion of all courses, along with an original transcript

– Any university degree issued after 01/01/2000 must be submitted with a letter addressed to the Consulate of Qatar proving the completion of all courses in-class rather than online, along with an original transcript

Here are the two simple steps you will need to take before we can begin to certify and attest your diploma:

Step 1: Notarize Your Diploma, Transcripts, and Enrollment Verification Letter – The first step is to contact the University’s Registrar and request your Diploma, Transcripts, and Enrollment Verification Letter to be notarized. If the school does not have a notary on staff, you will need to request a traveling notary to visit the school and meet with the Registrar.

Step 2: Mail-in Your Documents – The second step is to mail in your original notarized documents including the documents the Qatar Embassy or Consulate office will require (see list above). Failure to provide the required documents will cause delays in attesting your diploma.

Depending on the State your documents were signed and notarized in, the processing time can take two to three weeks to complete. We will coordinate with our apostille offices to complete your documents as quickly as possible. We also provide FedEx/UPS overnight return shipping at no additional cost. We can also ship your completed documents to Qatar.  International flat-fee shipping rates apply.

Certifying and legalizing documents for Qatar can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the legalization process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
