Attestation of civil and commercial documents for use in Oman is no longer handled directly by the Foreign Ministry; it runs through Oman Post, electronically or at branches in Oman. The Canberra Embassy still lists certification of civil, commercial and authorisation documents among its services.
Where to apply in Australia
Online via Oman Post (omanpost.om/attestation-services); the Ministry says the electronic service is available in many countries and being expanded, and the pages fetched do not state whether Australia is covered. Embassy Canberra is the contact point.
Contact details for every office are on the page of the embassy and consulates of Oman.
How to apply
Apply electronically at omanpost.om/attestation-services, or ask the Embassy in Canberra how documents from Australia are handled
Applications are handled through Oman Post, https://omanpost.om/attestation-services.
