Documents Issued in Dubai for Use Abroad
Documents issued in Dubai, such as birth or marriage certificates, power of attorneys, or other legal contracts, can be certified/attested in the UAE before being used abroad.
MOFA Attestation
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs attests all UAE-issued documents, including personal and business certificates and legal documents.
Before the document can be attested, you may first need to visit a Notary Public and then proceed to the Ministry of Justice for further authentication.
Certified Translation
Once MOFA has attested the document, you may have it translated into the language of the target country using locally acceptable accredited translations.
Sim-trans can help produce certified and sworn translations acceptable in 26 countries (including the UK, USA, France, Germany, Canada, Saudia Arabia, and Australia, etc) and legalised translations proper in all countries party to The Hague Convention.
Documents Issued Abroad for Use in Dubai
Documents issued outside of the UAE must undergo the following procedures to be deemed acceptable and usable within the country:
1. Apostille / Legalisation
The document will need an attestation from the issuing government or authority, or an apostille (for nations that are parties to The Hague Convention). You may need to have an Apostille notarised by a Notary Public to obtain it.
2. UAE Embassy Attestation
Submit the document, along with its Apostille, to the UAE Embassy in the respective country to complete the embassy attestation process.
3. MOFA Attestation
The document with the UAE embassy attestation can subsequently be submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE for the final attestation process.
4. Legal Translation
For non-Arabic documents that have been attested, you will require a legal translation into Emirati Arabic by a Ministry of Justice-approved translator.
5. MOJ Certification
To authenticate the legal translation, the translator will be required to have their signature officially certified by the Ministry of Justice.
Sim-trans works with Notaries Public in several countries and can assist in organizing all of the above steps for documents issued in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, USA, Canada, Netherlands, and Australia.
