The Foreign Ministry provides a range of document attestation services.
The Foreign Ministry provides services to help Omani citizens, foreign residents, businesses, and visitors when they need to have documents attested.
Document attestation is necessary when a person has an important official document, related to their personal, family or business affairs, and needs it certified as original.
The Foreign Ministry is committed to improving consular services and to expedite attestation transactions.
As part of this commitment, the Ministry has launched an electronic attestation system in cooperation with Oman Post. Please see below for further information.
The services provided in the attestation offices of the Foreign Ministry in Muscat, Rusayl, Khasab, Al Buraimi, Sohar, Nizwa, Sur and Salalah, are for individuals only.
Individuals who need to have their documents attested by the Foreign Ministry should go to one of the Ministry’s attestation offices.
Non-Omanis may not visit the Consular Department at the Foreign Ministry, or one of the Ministry’s Attestation offices, regarding transactions related to Omani citizens or companies. Non-Omanis are therefore restricted to their own individual transactions at all Ministry Attestation offices.
The Ministry is unable to handle transactions from companies and institutions except through authorised Omani representatives.
Agents and representatives of companies and institutions must submit documents for attestation to Oman Post offices in the various governorates and states.
There is a range of fees for these services as shown below.
