Apostille & Document Legalization Services in the UAE
Understanding Apostille and Attestation in the UAE
The
United Arab Emirates is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means an Apostille certificate alone is not accepted for documents intended for use within the UAE.
Instead, the UAE follows a
multi-step attestation (legalization) process to confirm the authenticity of documents before they can be legally recognized.
At Attestation Office UAE, managed by Amazon Attestation, we help individuals, families, and companies navigate both Apostille and Attestation procedures — whether your documents are to be used inside or outside the UAE.
Document Apostille for Use Outside the UAE
If a document issued in the UAE needs to be used in a country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) is the competent authority to issue an Apostille Certificate.
This process allows UAE-originated documents to be officially recognized in Hague Convention countries for:
- Employment and immigration
- Education and university admissions
- Company formation abroad
- Legal or business transactions
Common Documents Handled
- Educational Certificates (degrees, diplomas, transcripts)
- Birth, Marriage, and Divorce Certificates
- Death Certificates
- Power of Attorney (POA)
- Commercial Documents (trade licenses, contracts, agreements, invoices)
