Hague Apostille from United Arab Emirates

How the Hague Apostille from United Arab Emirates works

The Hague Apostille (أبوستيل) is a certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates the signature, seal and capacity of the public official who signed a document in United Arab Emirates, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) (وزارة الخارجية والتعاون الدولي) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in United Arab Emirates — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Arabic or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In the United Arab Emirates, an Apostille is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) for documents intended for use in other Hague apostille member countries. Documents must first be attested by relevant local authorities, such as the Ministry of Health or Ministry of Education, before being presented to MOFAIC. This process ensures the document's validity within the UAE legal framework prior to international certification. The Apostille replaces the traditional embassy legalization process for documents used in Hague Convention countries, significantly simplifying cross-border acceptance.
