UAE APOSTILLE
Are your documents legally valid in the UAE?
THE UAE IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE HAGUE CONVENTION; THEREFORE, EXTRA STEPS ARE NEEDED WHEN SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS.
Are you moving to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for work, study, or business expansion? Many UK residents are required to submit legalised and attested documents for various applications, such as visa processing, company formation, or importing UK-made products into the UAE.
The UAE government mandates that official UK documents undergo notarisation, apostille certification, and consular attestation to be legally accepted. Our firm specialises in notarising, apostilling, and attesting documents at the UAE Consulate in London, ensuring full compliance with UAE regulations.
Contact us today for expert assistance with your document legalisation needs. Let us handle the process smoothly and efficiently!
