How Commercial Attestation Works
Step 1: Transaction Review and Certification
CLS reviews the document, transaction and Saudi receiving party to determine the required certification chain.
Export documents may need certification by an authorised chamber of commerce or issuing body, while corporate and legal documents may instead require execution before a New Zealand Notary Public.
Step 2: DIA Authentication
Where applicable, the prepared document is submitted to DIA for Authentication or Apostille.
Step 3: Saudi Embassy Legalisation (where required)
CLS submits the document for Saudi diplomatic legalisation where required.
Step 4: Return or Direct Delivery
Completed documents can be returned to the New Zealand company or sent directly to an importer, adviser or representative.

Common Causes of Commercial Attestation Delays
Every common cause of delay — and how CLS prevents it before submission.
Incorrect Signatory
A document may need to be signed by an authorised company officer and supported by evidence of that authority.
Missing Chamber Certification
Certain export documents need chamber certification before they can proceed to the Saudi stage.
Document Details Do Not Match the Shipment
Product descriptions, values, quantities, exporter details and consignee information should remain consistent across the document set.
Incomplete Power of Attorney
A power of attorney may be rejected if the representative, powers granted or execution details are unclear.
Incorrect Saudi Recipient Details
Company names and registration details should match the Saudi entity’s formal records.
Product-Specific Requirements
Food, medical, agricultural, cosmetic and regulated products may require additional certificates from the relevant authority.
