Why a degree certificate needs the full chain for Qatar
Work-permit and study applications almost always require an officially attested degree certificate. Qatar is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille alone is not accepted. The document goes through the full consular chain: attestation in Finland, MFA legalisation, embassy legalisation and confirmation by the destination's foreign ministry. We handle every stage for you.
Process
How the chain proceeds for Qatar
- 01
Attestation in Finland
The signature on the certificate issued by your school or university is first attested by a notary or DVV.
- 02
Ministry for Foreign Affairs
The Finnish MFA legalises the notary's or DVV's signature (€30 per signature).
- 03
Embassy legalisation
The document is submitted to the Qatari embassy by post with a prepaid return envelope. Processing takes at least 4–5 working days, and the embassy confirms the fee once it has received the originals.
- 04
Confirmation at destination
On arrival the document is attested at the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). We brief the recipient in advance.
The total consists of authority fees (MFA €30 per signature; the embassy fee depends on document type and is confirmed once the embassy has received the documents) and our service fee (€100). You get an exact quote before we start.
