What Is Educational Document Attestation?
Educational document attestation is the authentication process used to establish the official status of academic documents such as university degrees, diplomas, school certificates and transcripts for use in Qatar.
A foreign academic certificate normally passes through the relevant authorities in the country where it was issued before reaching the applicable Qatar diplomatic and Ministry of Foreign Affairs stages. The exact sequence depends on the issuing country and document type.

How to Attest Educational Documents for Qatar
A typical foreign educational certificate follows issuing-country authentication before the applicable Qatar diplomatic and final MOFA stages.
Initial Verification
The starting stage can involve university verification, notarization or another competent authority according to the issuing country's process.
Education / State Authority
A degree or school certificate can require authentication by the relevant education, state, HRD, board or equivalent authority.
Foreign Affairs Authentication
The issuing country's competent foreign affairs authority authenticates the applicable official seals or signatures for international use.
Qatar Embassy / Consulate
The certificate proceeds through the applicable Qatar diplomatic mission when that stage forms part of the required authentication chain.
MOFA Attestation in Qatar
The final Qatar stage is handled through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs once the necessary preceding authentication has been completed.
Important: Review the seals and authentication already completed on your document before restarting the process. Learn more about MOFA attestation in Qatar .
