Consular District of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

The Jeddah Consular District is comprised of the administrative districts of the Western Province (Jeddah, Taif, Makkah, Rabigh, Yanbu, Madinah and Tabuk) and the Southern Province (Abha, Khamis Mushayt, Baha, Najran, and Gizan). The Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia lies within the jurisdiction of the American Consulate General in Dhahran. The United States Embassy in Riyadh covers all other districts.

Courts in Saudi Arabia are based Islamic (Shari’ah) law, which is very different from American civil or criminal law. Consultation with an attorney is suggested for those involved in legal matters in the Kingdom. If appointing an attorney, be advised that legal representatives must have Saudi nationality to present cases in Sharia court. However, citizens of any nationality my represent themselves in both Shari'ah and Labor Court.

Law firms in Saudi Arabia cannot perform notarial services. Only a court of the Saudi Ministry of Justice has that authorization.

At is advisable to send important legal documents to and from Saudi Arabia by registered mail.
