Apostille & Legalization for United Arab Emirates
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in United Arab Emirates: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
United Arab Emirates is not a Hague Convention member, so an apostille alone is not accepted. The document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized at the United Arab Emirates embassy or consulate.
If you are sending a U.S. document to United Arab Emirates — for work permits, family visas, business licensing, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before United Arab Emirates authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what United Arab Emirates requires and how we handle it end to end.
