Document legalisation and attestation in the UAE
We take documents through the full chain of certifications so they are accepted in the country you need: MOFA attestation, consular legalisation, sworn translation and, where applicable, an apostille.
When clients come to us
- a document from the UAE needs to be submitted abroad
- a foreign document needs to be submitted in the UAE
- a diploma or certificate is required for a visa or a job
- a bank or court rejected a document for lack of certification
- you need to confirm marriage, birth, or a clean criminal record
What we do
- determine the certification route for the specific destination country
- carry out notarial certification and MOFA attestation
- arrange consular legalisation
- arrange a sworn translation
- check the completeness of the set before submission so the document is not returned
How the work proceeds
- Diagnosis. We find out where the document is going and what requirements the receiving party has.
- Preparation. We certify the original, obtaining a duplicate or certificate if needed.
- Attestation. We complete UAE MOFA steps and the consulate of the relevant country.
- Translation and delivery. We produce the sworn translation and hand over the finished set.
Documents required

Коротко о главном
The UAE has joined the Hague Convention, but whether an apostille applies depends on the destination country and the type of document. Consular legalisation is still required for a number of routes, so we select the route individually.
The full chain usually takes 5 to 10 business days. Some consulates take longer.
In most cases, yes. For some categories a notarised copy is accepted — we check this at the diagnosis stage.
