Qatar Embassy Legalization and Certification

July 4, 2019 By Atlanta Apostille

Surrounded by the Arabian Sea, Qatar is located in the Middle East and shares a border with Saudi Arabia, which known for being abundant and prosperous in oil. With the Global Peace Index ranking Qatar as one of the most peaceful countries in the world, many corporations and organizations have followed, but if you are conducting work in Qatar, then you will need document legalization services for use in Qatar.

We provide Qatar Embassy legalization and Qatar Consulate Legalization services, such as processing an apostille for FBI background checks and US birth certificates (which is commonly known as a birth certificate stamp certification). The government of Qatar has four locations that can assist with the legalization of documents: one embassy in Washington, D.C. and three Consulate offices in California, Texas, and New York.

Qatar is not currently a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning that processing and certifying any documents for this country can be a hassle and time consuming if not trusted to the right hands. We can apostille your documents from the local level to the Qatar Embassy or Consulate offices. The processing time can take anywhere from two to three weeks. In order to process your documents, we will just need your original documents and our order form to be completed.

For any assistance in notarizing and certifying documentations to be used overseas, our staff is available to answer your questions and provide you with step-by-step assistance. We are in the office every day, Monday to Sunday, from 8 AM to 11 PM EST. Do not hesitate to call us at 404-323-4211, or e-mail david@atlantaapostille.com.

October 5, 2014 By Atlanta Apostille

There are several ways to obtain a background check from the FBI. With the proper authorization by the applicant, a family member or friend residing stateside can file an application and obtain the document from the FBI. There are also third party service providers, such as the one offered by Atlanta Notaries & Fingerprinting in Atlanta, who can help you with your background check application—making things faster and easier. Finally, there are FBI-approved channelers. A list of these channelers can be found on the FBI website.

All applicants are required to submit their fingerprint for the background check application. The FBI Criminal History Report can be submitted to Atlanta Apostille for apostille certification. We have a Washington, DC, location to expedite the processing of these federal apostilles and authentications.

How to: Prepare Documents for Teaching English Abroad

August 26, 2013 By Atlanta Apostille

Many recent college graduates are finding employment overseas teaching English. There is a strong demand, particularly among Asian countries, for English-speaking foreigners to teach English to students wanting to sharpen their English-language skills. Many companies and families hire students on a contract basis. However, the screening process can be lengthy involving various agencies of the applicant’s home and host countries.

If you are teaching English abroad, after you have obtained your background check from the Department of Justice, you will need to have it notarized. Then, you will need an apostille for both your background check and your diploma.

Atlanta Notaries will notarize your diploma and background check; just bring us a copy of the documents as well as the originals. We will notarize your paperwork quickly and efficiently so that you can get it apostilled.

Atlanta Apostille will obtain the apostille for your documents so you can begin life abroad. Call us today at 404-323-4211 to set up an appointment.

Apostilles on Criminal Background Checks

February 9, 2013 By Atlanta Apostille

Many employers require a criminal background check as part of their employment process. In order to get a Georiga apostille, or Great Seal, you need to first get your fingerprints taken. Find out whether your employer would like you to get digital or ink fingerprints done for the background check. In Atlanta, companies doing ink fingerprinting are difficult to find; however, a good fingerprinting company is Atlanta Notaries (www.atlantanotaries.com) which can get you in and out of their office in 10 minutes with fingerprints on the FBI FD-258 cards (see left).

With the fingerprint cards in hand, you can take your prints to a local police station and have them run a local background check on you. They will research your police record and send them to you. Once you have this document, you may send it in to be authenticated. Another option for getting your criminal record is to have the FBI run a national criminal background check on you. Once you receive this document, again you may send it in for authentication.
