Hi,
I arrived in Riyadh 3 weeks ago and my Iqama is processed. Planning to apply for my family visa now.
I am hearing that I need to get the birth certificates of my children attested by the Saudi consulate in UK. Is this true? My travel in London insisted only my Educational certificates and Marriage certificate needs to be attested.

Anybody from UK here who has attested the birth certificates for their children (less than 5 yrs old)? or has gone through this process recently?

cheers

This is the case. They will need to have an arabic translation as well.

Regards

Paul

I have done the translation and have the originals.
My travel agent in London did not attest the birth certificates and got only my marriage certificate translated and attested!

Now that I am in Riyadh, what are my options? Can it be done somewhere here in Saudi?
