Common Causes of Saudi Attestation Delays
Every common cause of delay — and how CLS prevents it before submission.
Incorrect Document Format
A commemorative certificate, unofficial printout or ordinary photocopy may not be accepted.
CLS checks whether an original, registry-issued document or notarised copy is required.
Missing Preparatory Certification
Private and corporate documents may need notarisation, chamber certification or another preliminary verification before DFAT or Saudi submission.
Incorrect DFAT Processing
The document must receive the form of Australian legalisation required by the Saudi mission or receiving authority.
Inconsistent Names
Differences between documents, passports and Saudi records can lead to requests for additional evidence.
Missing Supporting Documents
Identification, authority letters, translations or Saudi sponsor documents may be required in addition to the document being legalised.

“I recently required document legalisation from an embassy in Canberra, which was complicated to arrange from Perth. The CLS Legalisation Team were responsive and helpful, and assisted me in getting the process completed in a timely manner. I have previously used CLS for assistance in obtaining business visas to less-frequented countries and they have always provided a professional, efficient service.”
