Cameroonian documents in Qatar

Using a Cameroonian document in Qatar

Cameroon is not a party to the Apostille Convention. A Cameroonian birth certificate, diploma, police record or company document for use in Qatar normally follows this route:

1. 1Certified translation
2. 2Notary or true copy
3. 3MINREX legalization
4. 4Embassy or consulate

Depending on the purpose (visa, marriage, study, employment, company set-up), the authority receiving the document in Qatar may ask for extra steps or a translation into a specific language. We check these requirements for you.
