Legalizing documents for the United Arab Emirates is a multi-step process. The first step is certifying your documents with the State office (Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor’s office). Certifying a document for UAE is different than an Apostille. Because the UAE is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, your documents will also require U.S. Department of State legalization in Washington, D.C. and Embassy or Consulate legalization.
