As the UAE is not a member of the Hague Apostille convention, almost every UAE resident company reaches the point when a legalization procedure is necessary. It might be a marriage certificate, or perhaps a diploma for personal needs, but most frequently, it’s corporate documents. If the latter was created in the UAE for use abroad, or vice versa – it will need legalization. We are ready and able to seamlessly fulfill this function for any country in the world, with or without diplomatic representation in the UAE.
