Consular legalisation of documents in Dubai, UAE

Consular legalisation is the process of legalising foreign documents to be used in the United Arab Emirates. It ultimately consists of affixing an official stamp of approval to your document. In this way, the official authorities confirm that it is genuine and valid for use wherever it is required and offered. Passing the legalisation procedure shows that your document complies with the rules and standards set by the government or relevant authorities.

As the UAE is not part of the Hague Convention and does not use apostilles for legalisation, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) certificate is used instead. This process authenticates the signatures and seals on your document. The Emirates authentication stamp comes in the form of a square printed sticker. The stamp also contains other information about the document such as the date of issue, reference number and a barcode for security verification.

Among the most popular documents going through the legalisation process are:

Marriage, birth, death certificates, etc.
Corporate papers related to business registration and trading activities.

Official documents containing information on ownership of real estate or land and legal status.
Papers related to litigation and court judgements.
Diplomas, diplomas, certificates from schools, universities and any other educational institutions.
Powers of attorney, wills, declarations.

For this procedure it is necessary to prepare original documents (unlaminated) or official copy, notarise them in the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. After that they should be legalised at the UAE embassy. This step ensures that the document meets the requirements of the legislation of the country of destination. For further use on the territory of the Emirates it must be drawn up in English or Arabic, otherwise you will need to get a notarised translation by a certified body.

Consular legalisation provides legal recognition of foreign documents in the Emirates, ensuring their authenticity and protection against fraudulent schemes. It can be useful for various purposes: from business registration to employment and enrolment in educational institutions. Without certified papers, you are guaranteed to be denied the necessary services and in some cases risk legal consequences up to and including deportation.
