Why Documents for Qatar Require Legalization
Since Qatar is not part of the Hague Convention, documents must undergo two federal-level steps:
Properly prepared (notarized, translated, and/or certified as required)
Certified by the Secretary of State (if applicable)
Authenticated by the U.S. Department of State
Legalized at the Cuban Embassy in Washington, DC
We handle steps 3 and 4 for you.
Both the federal authentication and the embassy legalization are done for you in person.
Required Preparation Before We Process Your Documents
