- Every document must first be certified either by an SRA-registered solicitor or by a UK notary public (we advise which is required; solicitor certification is included unless a notary is specifically needed).
- The certified document must then obtain an FCDO apostille. Without this apostille, no embassy will legalise the document.
- Once apostilled, the document is submitted to the chosen embassy for final stamping.
A notary stamp alone is never sufficient; an apostille is always required before any embassy will act.
Documents We Commonly Attest for Oman
Every day, people and businesses ask us to help with attestation of documents for Oman. What sort of papers do we handle? The list is long, but these are some of the most common:
- Educational documents: Educational certificates are required for job applications or study visas. Without proper certification, your application won’t pass through the attestation system in Oman. Be sure to include degrees, transcripts, and letters where needed.
- Birth certificates: Omani citizens, expats, and anyone moving to Oman will likely need attested birth certificates for themselves or their family. These are essential for residency applications, school enrollment, or other identity processes.
- Marriage certificates: To live in Oman with your spouse, embassy attestation or apostille legalization for marriage certificates is mandatory. This is especially important for family sponsorship or applying as a couple.
- Commercial certificates: Companies seeking to establish operations in Oman or conduct business transactions frequently require authenticated commercial documentation to meet local regulatory requirements.

What Is Oman Attestation and When Do You Need It?
Oman attestation is the process where certain official papers are checked and stamped by recognised authorities, so their authenticity is proved for Oman. This service is called Oman embassy attestation or document attestation for Oman.
When do you need it? If you plan to move to Oman for a job, to study, join family, or do business, you need to legalise and verify your documents for the sultanate.
- Employment: To work in Oman, you must provide attested documents like birth certificates, educational certificates, and other personal papers. Employers will reject applications without proper attestation—no shortcuts allowed.
- Study: Schools and universities in Oman require attested educational documents to process your application. In addition to your diploma, you may need to prove the authenticity of other certificates, especially if they come from outside the UK or Oman.
- Residency: For family residency in Oman, attested marriage certificates and birth certificates are needed. The Oman embassy or Oman Post will only accept properly certified documents-copies alone won’t suffice.
- Business: Starting a business in Oman requires attested documents like certificates of incorporation, commercial registrations, and contracts. Oman authorities will not approve your business setup without full document attestation.
Do You Need an Apostille Before Oman Embassy Attestation?
A common question. For many UK and Oman or Sri Lanka documents, you need an apostille certificate before going to the Oman embassy. The reason is simple. Oman is part of the Hague Convention. This means documents issued in places like the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland get an apostille through the Foreign Ministry first.
But embassy attestation is still sometimes required even after you get the apostille, depending on the use. For many commercial documents or for some personal and educational ones, the embassy of the Sultanate still needs to check and stamp them. Double-check with a document attestation service to avoid a mistake.
Oman Document Legalisation Process
Legalising documents for Oman is now much simpler. Since Oman follows the Hague Convention, you only need one official step: the apostille. There’s no need for notarisation or additional embassy stamps. At Legalisation4You, we help you complete this quickly and correctly.
Notarisation
For Oman, notarisation is no longer a required step. You don’t need to take your documents to a notary public. The Omani authorities will accept documents that carry the apostille alone. This saves time, effort, and cost. If your documents are original and come from the UK, you can skip notarisation entirely for Oman.
Apostille
An apostille is the only legal requirement for documents used in Oman. Since both the UK and Oman are part of the Hague Convention, the apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is enough. Once your document has this stamp, it’s recognised as valid in Oman without any further steps.
Embassy Legalisation
Oman does not require embassy legalisation. Once the apostille has been added to your document, no additional stamps from the Oman embassy are needed. This means your paperwork can be used in Oman right after it has been apostilled-fast and straightforward.
How to Submit Your Documents for Oman Attestation?
Submitting documents for Oman attestation can be done electronically or by post, thanks to the Oman Post and the recent updates at www.fm.gov.om. You prepare your documents for attestation, fill in applications electronically or in-person, and use Oman Post drop-off, collection, or delivery services.
Legalisation4You makes this part simple. We guide you step by step, check each certificate’s requirements, and make sure your set of documents for Oman is sent to the right authority, including the Oman embassy or relevant consular services for authentication.
Oman Post Requirements and Delivery Timelines for Embassy-Stamped Documents
Oman Post is now the official authority for attestation services, working closely with the Foreign Ministry and the embassy of the Sultanate. When you submit your documents for attestation, Oman Post checks your papers, collects the fees, and sends everything on to the right embassy or consular department.
Timelines vary, but the process can take between a few days and a few weeks, depending on type of document and whether extra checks are needed. Oman Post also offers tracking services and sometimes door-to-door delivery, so you can follow your documents as they move through the attestation system.

FAQs
Q
Is Oman part of the Hague Convention, and do they accept apostille-only documents?
A
Yes, the Sultanate of Oman is a member of the Hague Convention. Because of this, Oman accepts apostille certificates instead of full embassy legalisation for many documents, especially those from countries like the UK and Sri Lanka. However, specific authorities or organisations in Oman might still require an extra stamp from the embassy. Always check with your receiving party in Oman before relying on an apostille alone.
Q
What’s the difference between Oman document attestation and apostille legalisation?
A
Oman document attestation involves verification, authentication, and a stamp by various authorities, including the Oman embassy. Apostille legalisation, on the other hand, is a type of certification accepted by Hague Convention countries. It’s a single certificate confirming authenticity from the Foreign Ministry or Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). For Oman, apostille might suffice for some documents, but not all.
Q
Do I need to go through the UK Foreign Ministry before submitting to the Oman Embassy?
A
Usually, yes. Documents from the UK often require an apostille from the UK Foreign Ministry first before they can be submitted to the Oman embassy. This step ensures document authenticity for Omani authorities. However, there are exceptions, so it’s best to confirm with your attestation service.
Q
Can I use your attestation service to handle the full Oman embassy legalisation process?
A
Absolutely. At Legalisation4You, we offer a complete Oman attestation service. Our experts handle everything, including notarisation, apostille, embassy legalisation, and final checks. We ensure your documents remain secure and keep you updated throughout the process.
Q
What are the Oman embassy’s consular requirements for business and commercial documents?
A
The Oman embassy’s consular department has strict requirements for business documents. Commercial documents, such as a certificate of incorporation, must be notarised, apostilled, and reviewed by the embassy. Requirements may include original documents, company stamps, extra letters, and proper verification. Since procedures can change, reach out to us for the latest information.
Q
Is a certificate of incorporation valid in Oman without embassy attestation?
A
No, a certificate of incorporation is typically not accepted for business in Oman unless it has been notarised, apostilled, and attested by the Oman embassy. Omani authorities require this process to ensure all foreign and UK company documents are authentic before business operations can begin.
Q
Does the Oman Post require tracking or proof of embassy certification for delivered documents?
A
Oman Post provides tracking for attested documents, along with proof of delivery or embassy certification. Keeping records and tracking numbers is essential, especially for personal or commercial documents. If delivery issues arise, Oman Post will notify you, and support is available to resolve any problems.
