Apostille attestation is used for international document legalization. For use in the UAE, embassy legalisation is required.
This process is necessary for countries not part of the Hague Convention, which do not require Embassy legalisation.
The Hague Convention of 1961 established the Apostille process, a unique certification that authenticates the legitimacy of public documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, or academic transcripts for use in another country. The Hague Convention of 1961 created the Apostille Process, an international treaty that simplifies cross-border document legalization. The Apostille is a specific type of authentication recognised by all countries as signatories to the Hague Convention.
In the UAE, apostille attestation is required because the country is a popular destination for expats, students, and business professionals. This is due to its multicultural and diverse population. Before moving to the UAE, both permanent immigrants and temporary visitors must have their documents certified through a process known as apostille attestation.
Because the UAE is not a Hague Convention member, it does not directly recognise Apostille certifications. Documents must instead undergo a process known as Apostille Attestation, or Embassy Legalisation. This entails certification by the designated authority in the document's country of issuance, as well as the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
For example, if a person from the United Kingdom wants to use their UK-issued documents in the UAE, they must first obtain an apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) in the UK. Afterward, they need to have the documents attested by the UAE Embassy in London, as the UAE does not accept apostilles alone.
The terms "legalisation" and "apostille attestation" refer to the same process of verifying the authenticity of official documents. Apostille attestation ensures that UAE authorities can recognise and accept these documents for legal and administrative purposes.
Apostille attestation is mandatory for several educational certificates, personal documents, and commercial documents. These include:
