01Route

Embassy legalization required.

The United Arab Emirates is not a Hague member, so an apostille is not accepted. Documents need embassy legalization: state certification where needed, U.S. Department of State authentication, then the UAE Embassy in Washington, DC, followed by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A certified Arabic translation is usually required.

We do not give immigration or legal advice.
