Before arranging an international certification, obtain the recipient’s exact instructions. An Apostille label should not be used as a general promise of worldwide acceptance.
What to know
Apostille, consular legalisation and UAE MOFA attestation are not interchangeable procedures. The issuing country, intended destination and receiving organisation determine which route must be checked.
Do not assume an Apostille alone is sufficient for use in the UAE or that every document issued in the UAE can receive a UAE Apostille. Check the current treaty status and MOFA or relevant mission instructions before sending the original document.
Before you start
- The document’s purpose and the organisation that will receive it.
- The parties, intended powers or relevant asset details.
- Any instructions already supplied by the competent authority.
