Certified Translation
To use your French educational document in Qatar, you’ll likely need a certified translation into Arabic or English (the official language of Qatar) and attestation/legalization, depending on the specific requirements of your situation.
A detailed step-by-step procedure is explained below:
- Translation:
- Language: Determine if Arabic or English is required for your specific purpose (e.g., employment, education, or visa).
- Certified Translation: Obtain translation from an accredited translator or translation agency like Helpline Group.
- Attestation/Legalization (If Required):
- Attestation: The certificate attestation procedure of verifying the authenticity of a document by the relevant authorities.
- Qatar’s Requirements: Qatar is not a member of the Hague Convention, so documents often require attestation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where the document is issued, in this case, France, followed by attestation from the Qatar Embassy.
Process:
- Original Documents: Ensure you have the original French educational document and a certified translation (if required).
- MEFA Attestation: Submit the documents to the Bureau des legalizations at the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs for attestation.
- Qatar Embassy Attestation: After MEFA attestation, submit the documents to the Qatar Embassy for further attestation.
- Final Attestation in Qatar: After all the necessary attestations abroad, the certificates must be submitted to the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs for final attestation once you arrive in Qatar.
