Who may need it
Children below 12 may be asked to submit a polio certificate instead of undergoing the full medical examination for a Saudi family residence visa.
Where to get it
The certificate can usually be obtained from a local polio center or authorized health facility after showing proof of vaccination.
Apostille and translation
The certificate may need apostille and Arabic translation before VFS submission. Check the latest VFS checklist before appointment.
Keep copies
Keep original, apostilled copy, Arabic translation and photocopies ready.
