Apostille Spanish Documents Attestation

Certificate attestation in Spain refers to verifying the authenticity of a document, such as a diploma or a degree, for use in another country. The Spanish attestation process ensures that the document is genuine and issued by a recognized authority.

Document attestation in Spain can vary depending on the document type and the country where you will use it. Suppose you have certificates issued in Spain that you must use in the United Arab Emirates. In that case, you must process the attestation of Spain documents in the UAE Embassy in Madrid.

Procedures that may be required for a UAE visa:

• Birth Certificate Attestation in Spain
• Spain Degree Certificate Attestation
• Marriage Certificate Legalization in Spain
• Educational Documents Authentication in Spain
• Translation from Spanish to English or Arabic

Spain Documents Attestation for UAE

Documents issued from Spain must go through a specific legalization process to be valid in the UAE. These include the following:

• Document Notarization:
  

  You must have your original documents notarized by a Spanish notary public. This step is essential because it confirms that the document is authentic.

• Document Legalization:
  

  Once your documents have been notarized, you'll need to have them legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Spain. This step confirms that the notary public who notarized your document is authorized.

• Spain Apostille:
  

  If the country where you'll be using your document is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you'll need to have your documents apostilled by the Spanish Ministry of Justice. The apostille is attached to the paper by the Spanish authorities and confirms that the document's signature, seal, and stamp are genuine.
  Apostille countries are the UK, USA, Philippines, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.

• Attestation from the UAE Embassy:
  

  The United Arab Emirates is not an apostille country. This means that after you process MOFA Attestation in Spain, you must process the UAE Embassy attestation in Madrid.
