If your document is from one of the UK Crown Dependencies or British Overseas territories mentioned above, we will notarise your document by a UK Notary Public, which will incur an additional fee. The Hague Convention extends to Crown Dependencies (CD) and Overseas Territories (OT). Each CD or OT can issue their own apostilles. Documents with apostilles affixed from UK Crown Dependencies or Overseas Territories will still require a UK FCDO Apostille stamp to be accepted for embassy legalisation.

Documents can be attested by yourself. This will require you to find a UK solicitor or notary public to have your documents certified. You will then need to submit the documents to the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) via post. Once completed by the FCDO, the documents will require postage to the UAE embassy who will then complete the attestation process. This can take up to 4 weeks if done by an individual. Alternatively, to save time and effort we can process the documents for you.
Yes, you can get the documents attested yourself. But it is always better and safer to use a professional attestation company like ours.
No, you do not need to have your documents translated to Arabic for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Embassy legalisation in London. In fact, the embassy only accepts documents that are in English or Arabic. If a document is in another language, it will require translation to English.
No, you do not need to visit the UAE Embassy in London. This is down to the fact that the embassy no longer accepts a walk-in service; all the attestation is to be done via post. This provides both security and efficiency for customers and the embassy.
No. Evidence of the structure of your UK company is not required.
If you are planning to move to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), you will need to have your UK documents legalised by the UAE Embassy. This is required for situations such as applying for a visa or residency in the UAE. In most instance, employers will request the documents they need to sponsor employees.
The UAE Embassy may also require additional supporting documentation, so it is important to check their requirements before beginning the process.
We offer a timeframe of 8-9 working days to have documents legalised by the UAE embassy from start to finish. However, if the process is being done by an individual, it can take up to 4 weeks. This is because the FCDO prioritise agents over private clients.

Generally, UK documents destined for use in the UAE will need to be:
1. Certified by a UK solicitor or notary public
2. Authenticated by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) with an Apostille certificate
3. Submitted to the UAE Embassy in London for legalisation.
4. The final step would be to have it legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE.
After all steps have been complete, the document will be recognised in the UAE.
The timeline for legalising documents for use in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is 8-9 days. As the UAE embassy in London does not offer an expedited service, there is nothing that can be done to speed up the process.
The cost of document legalisation at the UAE Embassy in London is AED150. The price in GBP is dependent on the exchange rate.
Generally, the documents that require legalisation when emigrating to the UAE include:
• The highest level of education certificate, for example, Diploma, Masters, Degree etc.
• Marriage Certificate (for those who are moving with their spouse)
• Birth Certificate (for those whose children will be involved)
These are the most common documents that are requested to be attested. However, other documents can be requested at the discretion of the employer to be legalised. These will be mandatory to obtain a residency visa in the UAE.
UK documents that are required to be used in the UAE can only be attested at the UAE embassy in London. For the attestation there are prerequisites: certifying the documents by a UK solicitor or notary public and having them legalised by the FCDO. The UAE embassy will only accept documents that have been attested by the UK Foreign Office.
The address of the United Arab Emirates Embassy in London is 48 Princes Gate, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2QA, United Kingdom
UK documents need to be attested for use in the United Arab Emirates because the UAE does not recognize documents issued by foreign governments unless they are properly authenticated. The attestation process ensures that the document is genuine and has been issued by the competent authorities.
No. UK documents that have been legalised to be used in the UAE are generally valid indefinitely.
Yes, the UAE will require the Apostille stamp as it is a mandatory step of the legalisation process. The UAE however does not accept the Apostille stamp on its own as it is not part of the Hague convention, which is an agreement that abolishes the need to legalise foreign public documents. Therefore, documents will require legalisation by the UAE embassy in London to be recognised in the UAE.
