Moving to the UAE is all fun and games until you’re asked to submit your marriage certificate, and you find out that it isn’t valid in the Emirates. This is where you need an apostille marriage certificate.
An apostille is a type of attestation of official documents. It’s a certification of authenticity and is used in countries members of the Hague Convention. An apostille is a way to confirm that the seals and signatures on important documents such as birth certificates are legitimate copies of the original documents.
The UK is a member of the Hague Convention. The UAE, however, is not. This means that your UK marriage certificate will need to be attested through the legal process acknowledged and accepted in the UAE. Your document needs to be verified by both the foreign ministry of UAE and the one in the UK for it to have the same legal effect. As a result, you’ll need to have your marriage certificate “legalized,” which serves the same purpose as an apostille would.
Attesting or legalizing a marriage certificate is approving or witnessing the document. This is done by the authorized persons and authorities who add official seals and signatures to the documents. These additions certify that the marriage certificate is authentic and officially recognized in the UAE.
In this case, your UK marriage certificate will need to be legalized by the UAE Embassy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the relevant authorities in the UK.
