How Birth Certificate Attestation Works
Step 1: Certificate Review
CLS checks that the birth certificate is an eligible Australian civil document and reviews its intended use in Saudi Arabia.
Step 2: Supporting Document Check
We review the names of the child and parents against the passports and identify any differences requiring further evidence.
Step 3: DFAT Authentication
The eligible certificate is submitted to DFAT for the required Australian legalisation.
Step 4: Saudi Embassy or Consulate Legalisation
CLS submits the authenticated certificate through the appropriate Saudi diplomatic mission.
Step 5: Secure Return
We check the completed legalisation and arrange secure delivery to the family or another nominated recipient.

Common Causes of Birth Certificate Delays
Every common cause of delay — and how CLS prevents it before submission.
Commemorative or Unofficial Certificates
Hospital records and commemorative certificates may not be accepted for formal legalisation.
Parent Name Differences
Spelling differences, changed surnames and inconsistent transliterations may need supporting evidence.
Missing Relationship Documents
A marriage certificate, custody document or consent letter may be requested depending on the purpose.
Damaged or Altered Certificates
Laminated, damaged or altered documents may require replacement before processing.
Translation Issues
The receiving authority may require a complete Arabic translation of the certificate and its legalisation pages.

“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.”
