Overview

Documents the UAE will accept

Foreign documents used in the UAE usually need to be legalised in the country of issue and then attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is needed for visas, family sponsorship, company formation and many official processes.

We manage the full chain, from notary and foreign ministry to the UAE embassy and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with certified Arabic translations.
