Need Advise from an American in Qatar

Hello,

I was looking for people who have moved from the US to Qatar. I am in the process of moving myself.

The HR department has given me a list of things to do - originally I had no idea about half of them but I have figured out most of them.

The biggest challenge now is "attestations", a term I had not heard before but apparently all documents have to be attested.

I.e. Degree, Marriage Certificate, kids birth certificate and etc.

I found a government link that describes what it is - but since I am already here and cant go back to get this done - I wanted to take advise from someone who went through this exercise as to how they did it and if there is a service that would do "attestations" for me.

People here who are not Americans have tried to guide me to American Foreign office and "ministry of interior" and it was not helpful because while I now understand what "attestation" means - there is no foreign office in the US, there is no ministry of interior in the US, and Degrees, Marriage Licenses, and Birth Certificates are local and state matters not federal government.

Thank you for you help.
