How to attest ACCA (UK) degree for Saudi Arabia?

Step 2: UK Legalization Office

Once the ACCA (UK) degree is received back from British Council it then needs to be sent to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office or Legalization office in the UK.

You need to have someone in the UK to whom documents can be delivered after the attestation from the legalization office. If you do not know anyone, you can contact an agent for the degree attestation and get the documents delivered to him.

• UK Legalization Fee: £30/document + £5 courier charges.

Step 3: Saudi Embassy in the UK

Once the degree is delivered to your friend in the UK from the legalization office, ask him to submit them to the Saudi Embassy for attestation.
