Apostille Services in Bahrain

When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Bahrain

The Kingdom of Bahrain officially joined the Convention of 5 October 1961, which eliminates the need for legalization of foreign public documents (commonly known as the Apostille Convention), on 10 April 2013. The Convention became effective for Bahrain on 31 December 2013.

Because Bahrain is now a contracting state under the Apostille Convention, U.S. public documents destined for use in Bahrain no longer require the traditional multi‑step embassy legalization process. Instead, once the document is apostilled in the U.S., Bahrain recognizes its authenticity under the treaty. This applies to many types of documents such as vital records (birth, marriage, death), academic credentials, court orders, and notarial instruments.

However, it is important to confirm whether your recipient institution in Bahrain has any additional requirements. Some entities may request further certification or translation even though the apostille is legally sufficient.
