Saudi employment documentation
Saudi Degree Attestation from India
Saudi Arabia has used the Hague apostille route since 7 December 2022. An eligible Indian degree normally needs the correct State HRD or university verification before MEA apostille. QVP, Mosaddaqa, SCFHS or DataFlow may be separate qualification or licensing checks, depending on the role and employer instruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is apostille enough for Saudi degree certificates?
Saudi Arabia is a Hague Apostille Convention member. An eligible Indian degree normally needs the correct State HRD or university verification before MEA apostille. QVP, Mosaddaqa, SCFHS or DataFlow may still apply as separate employer, qualification or licensing checks.
Do nurses and doctors need DataFlow with Saudi degree attestation?
Healthcare professionals often need DataFlow or primary source verification for licensing in addition to document attestation. These processes should be planned together.
