Commonly known as the Convention Abolishing the Requirements of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, the Apostille Convention was founded in 1961 to facilitate the use of official papers abroad. As part of its ongoing efforts to reform the immigration system to align with Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia officially joined the Apostille Convention on December 7, 2022 – becoming its 122nd member. The Apostille Convention does away with the conventional, time-consuming legalizing requirement and replaces it with a straightforward attestation procedure that only requires the issuing of a single Apostille certificate by an appropriate authority. An electronic Apostille Program (e-App) was introduced by the Hague Conference on Private International Law in 2006 to support the electronic issuing and verification of Apostilles globally.
