Good news

An apostille is enough for Saudi Arabia

Setting up a branch, opening a bank account and public tenders require a legalised trade register extract. Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Apostille Convention on 7 December 2022, so a DVV apostille is all that is needed. The full consular chain no longer applies. We still confirm the receiving party's requirements, as some authorities additionally ask for an official translation.
