Is United Arab Emirates a Hague Convention country?
No. United Arab Emirates is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so an apostille will not be accepted there. The document needs U.S. Department of State authentication first, then legalization at the United Arab Emirates embassy or consulate — in that order.
Why this document takes the state route
A Federal Power of Attorney is certified by a notary, so the signature being authenticated is the notary’s — not a federal official’s. That means it is authenticated by the Secretary of State of the state where it was notarized. For United Arab Emirates, the state-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the United Arab Emirates embassy for legalization.
We handle Florida notarizations through the full chain. Documents notarized in other states need that state’s authentication first; we then handle the federal and embassy steps.
People most often send documents to United Arab Emirates for work permits, family visas, business licensing. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
