Hague Convention apostille authentication for documents issued in member countries — simplified international legalization accepted by UAE authorities.
Learn MoreApostille is a simplified form of international document authentication introduced by the Hague Convention of 1961. Documents issued in member countries are certified with an apostille seal, confirming their authenticity and enabling legal recognition by UAE authorities — without requiring additional embassy attestation.
If your document originates from a non-Hague country (such as India, Saudi Arabia, or Egypt), embassy attestation is required instead before MOFA legalization.
Educational certificates from Hague countries must be apostilled to verify authenticity before equivalency recognition or employment in the UAE.
Personal documents including birth and marriage certificates require apostille authentication for family visa and dependent sponsorship applications.
Business documents such as contracts, power of attorney and company records must be apostilled for submission to UAE commercial and legal authorities.
Many UAE government departments explicitly require apostilled documentation from member countries before processing applications or requests.
A streamlined three-step process from document review to official apostille certification.
We review and confirm that your document was issued by a recognised authority within a Hague Convention member country and qualifies for apostille certification.
Certain documents must first be notarised by a Notary Public or authorised authority in the issuing country before the apostille stamp can be applied.
The competent authority in the issuing country — typically the Department of State or designated body — certifies the document with an official apostille seal.
Degrees, diplomas, school certificates, transcripts and academic records from institutions in Hague member countries.
Birth, marriage, death certificates, police clearance certificates, affidavits and personal declarations.
Power of attorney, company MOA, board resolutions, contracts and business registration certificates.
Documents must originate from a member state of the Hague Apostille Convention (1961) to qualify for apostille authentication.
If your document is from a non-Hague country — including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan, Egypt or the Philippines — you will need embassy attestation followed by MOFA legalization instead.
