Legalisation by Embassy of the United Arab Emirates
Document legalisation for the United Arab Emirates is required when documents issued in the Netherlands need to be officially recognised by authorities in the UAE. This applies to both personal and commercial documents used for employment, residence, education, business activities or international trade.
Since the United Arab Emirates is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, documents cannot be legalised with a simple apostille. Instead, documents must go through a full legalisation and attestation process before they can be accepted by UAE authorities.
JuridConsult assists individuals and companies with the legalisation of documents for the United Arab Emirates, coordinating the required steps with Dutch authorities and the UAE Embassy. Our team manages the process on your behalf, ensuring that documents are correctly prepared and ready for official use in the UAE.
The legalisation procedure confirms that the signatures, stamps and seals on a document are authentic.
In most cases the process includes the following steps:
Certification or notarisation of the document (if required)
Legalisation by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Legalisation by the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in The Hague
Final attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE
JuridConsult can coordinate the entire procedure, so you do not have to deal with multiple authorities yourself.
