Legalization of documents for the UAE
Are you planning to move, work, study or start a business in the UAE? Then be prepared: all documents issued outside the Emirates must be legalized. The UAE is not a party to the 1961 Hague Convention, so the apostille is invalid here. Full consular legalization will be required to recognize your documents. We take care of the entire process — from the transfer to the submission to the ministries — so that you can focus on the main thing.
Which documents are subject to legalization:
● Birth, marriage, divorce, death certificates
● Diplomas, certificates, certificates
● Certificates of absence of criminal record
● Powers of attorney and notarial documents
● Commercial documents (contracts, invoices, company charters)
● Real estate documents
How legalization goes (stages):
- Notarization in the country of issue of the document
- Legalization in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this country
- Legalization at the UAE Consulate
- Translation into Arabic with notarization
- Final certification at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs MOFA
Legalization of documents issued in the UAE for other countries:
● Certification by the UAE Ministry of Justice (MOJ)
● Certification by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs MOFAIC
● Legalization at the consulate of the desired country
● Translation into the desired language (if necessary)
Common mistakes:
● An attempt to use apostille instead of consular legalization
● Providing scans instead of originals
● Lack of translation into Arabic
● Damaged or expired documents
● Delivery time: from 5 to 20 working days (depending on the country and the document)
● Cost: from 1250 AED
● Urgent options and group orders are discussed individually
