Apostille Process
1. Chamber Certification
The Certificate of Origin is first certified by a local U.S. Chamber of Commerce to verify the accuracy of the origin and export details.
2. State Certification
After chamber certification, the document is authenticated by the Secretary of State in the state where the chamber certification was issued.
3. Apostille Issuance
Once state authentication is completed, the document receives an official apostille issued by the competent U.S. authority under the Hague Apostille Convention.
This apostille replaces embassy legalization and ensures the Certificate of Origin is recognized for official use in Saudi Arabia.

Documents without proper chamber and state authentication cannot be apostilled.
Incomplete, altered, or unsigned Certificates of Origin will not be processed.
An apostille confirms only the authenticity of signatures and seals, not product quality or commercial accuracy.
