USA Apostille Service for Oman

Oman Apostille

Oman, has agreed to accept the Apostille on 12 May 2011, for the Legalization of documents going to Oman from other contracting states. Many other nations have also signed the Hague Convention agreement making it easier to have any of your United States of America (USA) documents or affidavits such as: Birth Certificate, Marriage License/Certificate, Birth Certificate, Corporate Record, Death Certificate, Court Affidavits, Educational Diploma, Degree, Transcript or any type of document created in the USA Legalized for use in Oman. 

The purpose of the Apostille is to certify the authenticity of the signature on the document; the capacity in which the individual signing the document acted; and the identity of any seal or stamp affixed to the document. The Apostille has nothing to do with verifying that the document is an original or real.

Before the Apostille was accepted you would have to start a cumbersome and time-consuming process of obtaining stamps or a series of certifications known as "legalization".

Since Oman is a signatory to the present Hague Convention, there is no need to visit the Embassy or consular office. You can now apply directly to the Designated Competent Authority to issue the Apostille Stamp for Oman.

Embassy Consularization is a much longer time consuming process than getting an Apostille and it tends be more expensive. Also, some consulates have jurisdictional requrement, (e.g., if your document was created in California then you can not send it to a New York consulate if there is a consulate in California that has jurisdictional control over documents notarized or created in that state. Therefore, your document will have to be process by the consulate in California). The embassy/consular fee to process one document depends on the embassy it is going to, the fee can be as little as $1.00 (Madagascar) or as much as $600.00 (UAE), per document, also, the price can vary depending of if the document is a commercial document or if its a personal document.
