Document Clearance in Bahrain

Questions
Frequently asked
Can you legalise documents issued outside Bahrain?
The document must first be legalised in its country of origin. From there we handle the Bahrain-side attestation and any certified translation required.
Do you provide the Arabic translation?
Yes. Certified translation is arranged as part of the clearance so the document set stays complete.
