What is Apostille for Oman?
Oman is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since January 30, 2012, which means that commercial documents intended for use in Oman can be authenticated through an Apostille instead of the traditional embassy legalization process. An Apostille is a special certification issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) or its equivalent authority in the issuing country, verifying the authenticity of the document for international use.

Step-by-Step Process for Commercial Document Apostille for Oman
Step 1: Notarization (If Required)
Some documents, such as Power of Attorney (POA) and Agreements, may need to be notarized by a notary public before further authentication.
Step 2: Chamber of Commerce Attestation
Business-related documents must be certified by the Chamber of Commerce in the issuing country before Apostille.
Step 3: Apostille by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) or the designated Apostille Authority in the issuing country will authenticate the document by providing an Apostille certificate or stamp.
Step 4: Use in Oman
Once the document is apostilled, it is legally recognized in Oman and can be used for business transactions, trade, and legal procedures without further embassy attestation. However, some business-related approvals may require submission to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry & Investment Promotion (MoCIIP) in Oman.
