Service Overview
This website is provided by the US Arab Chamber of Commerce (USACC). USACC offers fast and efficient apostille services for documents intended for use in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Since Saudi Arabia is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, documents issued in the United States require an apostille instead of embassy legalization.
Our team handles corporate, federal, commercial, and personal document authentication, ensuring full compliance with international requirements. Through our streamlined process, your documents are properly certified and ready for official use in Saudi Arabia.
Please note that all inquiries related to visas, passports, or other consular services must be directed to the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia directly.
