Legalizing documents for Saudi Arabia is a multi-step process. The first step is certifying your document with the State. Certifying a document for Saudi Arabia is different than an Apostille. Because Saudi Arabia is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, your documents will also require U.S. Department of State legalization in Washington, D.C. and Embassy or Consulate legalization.
