MISA Registration: The Gateway to Saudi Arabia Investment

MISA (Ministry of Investment Saudi Arabia, formerly SAGIA) is the gateway for all foreign investment in the Kingdom. Whether you are establishing a 100% foreign-owned entity, forming a joint venture with a Saudi partner, or setting up a regional headquarters in Riyadh, MISA registration is your first step.

The February 2025 Investment Law has made market entry simpler than ever — but the document requirements remain rigorous. Every submission to MISA must be in Arabic or accompanied by a certified Arabic translation from an accredited translator. Missing translations or improperly notarised documents are the most common cause of application delays.

At Arabic Translation UK, we have translated hundreds of corporate documents for Gulf market entry. Our translators understand the specific terminology used in Saudi corporate law, the formatting expectations of MISA's e-portal, and the attestation sequence that ensures your documents are accepted first time.

The MISA Document Attestation Process for UK Companies

Getting UK documents accepted by MISA requires a specific sequence of attestation steps. Getting this wrong causes delays — here is the correct process:

Notarisation — Your UK solicitor or notary public signs and stamps each document. This confirms the document's authenticity.
FCDO Apostille — Submit notarised documents to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office for an apostille stamp. Standard service: £35/document (2-4 weeks). Premium next-day service: £75/document.
Certified Arabic Translation — Once apostilled, we provide certified Arabic translation with a signed statement of accuracy and translator credentials.
MISA Portal Submission — Upload translated and apostilled documents to the MISA e-portal. The system accepts PDF format.

Important notes:

Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Convention in December 2022 — you no longer need Saudi Embassy legalisation for most documents
Educational certificates still require QVP (Qualification Verification Programme) verification through the Saudi Cultural Bureau
Commercial documents may require additional Saudi Chamber of Commerce stamps
Powers of attorney issued outside Saudi Arabia must be translated into Arabic before notary use in the Kingdom

Our team guides you through this process and ensures your translations are in the correct format for MISA acceptance. Contact us for a free consultation on your MISA application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about arabic misa registration translation services

A typical MISA registration requires certified Arabic translation of: (1) Articles of Association / Memorandum of Association, (2) Board resolution authorising Saudi investment, (3) Audited financial statements for 1-3 years, (4) Parent company certificate of incorporation, (5) Power of attorney for Saudi representative, (6) Passport copies of directors/shareholders, (7) Business plan. All documents except passports must be notarised and apostilled before translation. Use our Saudi document checklist tool for a personalised list.

The updated Investment Law (February 2025) streamlined the process significantly. It replaces traditional licensing with a simpler registration system, eliminates distinction between Saudi and foreign investors, and allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors. However, the Arabic translation requirement is unchanged — all documents must still be in Arabic or accompanied by certified translation.

Yes — Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Apostille Convention in December 2022. UK documents need an FCDO apostille (£35 per document standard service, or £75 for premium next-day). This replaced the previous requirement for Saudi Embassy legalisation. See our Saudi Arabia legalisation guide for the full process.

A complete MISA document package (6-8 documents) typically takes 3-5 working days for translation. Express 48-hour and 24-hour options available for urgent applications. The MISA registration itself typically takes 4-8 weeks once submitted with complete documentation.

Yes — our financial translators understand both IFRS (used in audited statements) and SOCPA (Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants) requirements. We translate balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and audit reports with accurate accounting terminology.

Powers of attorney for Saudi Arabia must be in Arabic. If issued outside the Kingdom, the POA must be notarised by a UK solicitor, apostilled by the FCDO, and then translated into Arabic by a certified translator. Saudi law requires a legal translator certified by the Kingdom when a foreigner carries out transactions before the Notary Public. POAs are valid for 5 years.

We handle the translation and certification component. For the full MISA application process (registration, legal structuring, compliance), we recommend working with a Saudi business setup consultancy alongside our translation services. We regularly work alongside law firms and consultancies to provide the translation layer.

A typical MISA document package costs £800-£2,000 depending on document complexity and page count. Articles of association and financial statements are usually the longest documents. Get a free quote with your specific documents for an accurate estimate.

Yes — while most UK-based MISA applications involve English-to-Arabic translation, we also translate from French, German, Spanish, Italian, and 100+ other languages into Arabic. This is relevant for multinational companies with parent entities in non-English-speaking countries.
