Why Apostille Documents for UAE

If you need to use a UK document in the UAE for an employment offer, residency visa, business setup or family matter, it will typically need an Apostille certificate. Degree certificates, birth and marriage certificates and a range of professional qualifications are the most commonly apostilled documents for UAE use.

The UAE is not currently part of the Hague Apostille convention. As a result, further attestation from the UAE embassy and UAE MOFA is required.

Important Information for UAE

Embassy Attestation Required

The UAE is not currently a part of the Hague Apostille convention. This means the apostille alone is not enough. After the apostille has been issued, the document should also be attested by the UAE embassy and UAE MOFA. We handle the full UAE legalisation process for UK Documents.

UAE Attestation Service

Sets of Documents not Accepted

All documents must be legalised individually. The UAE embassy does not accept bundled documents which have been legalised together under one apostille certificate.

Degrees and Diplomas Need Solicitor Certification

UK degree certificates and most academic documents need solicitor certification before the FCDO will apostille them. We can provide the solicitor certification as part of our service.

Need Full UAE Attestation?

The UAE requires more than a UK apostille alone. Most documents must also be attested by the UAE Embassy and stamped by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) before they can be accepted.

Our dedicated UAE attestation service handles the complete process from start to finish.
