Some countries require legalization on documents. Apostille is not enough. We will help you with obtaining super-legal documents for marriage or obtaining citizenship.
Legalization
To work or study in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), you need to obtain a temporary or permanent residence, or you are going to get married, you will need to submit your legalized residence documents without which the UAE will not continue to successfully process the application. With super-legalization, your original document receives a legal disclaimer that represents the verification of the authenticity of the seal and signature in another contracting country. This check is performed by pasting the so-called super-legalization certificate, which are actually items printed and duly certified by the seal of the competent authority that carries out super-legalization.
Apostille or legalization
Before starting the legalization, check whether the apostille will not be enough. Apostille was created in 1961 on the basis of the so-called Hague Agreement (Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization of Foreign Official Documents“). In his competence you will find almost all countries of the world in which you may also need super legalization. However, for full super-legalization, it is already necessary to obtain inspection points from several official foreign agencies. And this is exactly the moment when the process of super-legalization becomes time-consuming and financially time-consuming.
Forms for legalization
First, you need to choose the right form. Institutions in the United Arab Emirates change the content of applications and forms relatively often. Check if you have the latest version of the form.
You will also need knowledge of a foreign language, as the authorities may not accept your form even if the data is incorrectly filled out.
Check the date of issuance and validity of the document you plan to superlegalize. The general rule is that the document should not have been issued more than 3 years ago, but there are also cases when it should not be issued more than 6 months ago. For example, an extract from the register or a birth certificate, where if the specified period of issuance of these documents is exceeded, it is necessary to request the issuance of a new original.
How many points of legalization will you need?
Apostille requires only one confirmation. Legalization is a more complicated process and for each document you will need at least two, in some cases up to four points or certificates confirming super-legalization, such as ministries or other government institutions. There are different procedures for each type of legalization.

We again recommend that you start the super-legalization (or nostrification) of your certificates and diplomas related to future studies or employment while you have time.
State and federal legalization
The United Arab Emirates is one of the countries in which it is necessary to distinguish between state and federal superlegalization. The difference is valid, i.e. whether the inspection concerns only the territory of one of the emirates as an autonomous territorial unit – i.e. it is a state super-legalization – or the super-legalization covers the entire UEA – i.e. it is a federal super-legalization. This difference must be checked in advance. You will encounter these types of checks, for example, when checking birth certificates, criminal records, academic documents such as diplomas, etc. If you are not quite sure which option is right for you, contact specialists in the field of processing this type of documents, you will save a lot of time and considerable money.
Payment
Please note that abroad, administrative authorities may not accept payment by bank transfer or card.

In this situation, you will need cash in the local country where you are making the payment.

Timeframe

If you lack professional knowledge or knowledge of a foreign language, we recommend contacting our specialists to simplify and speed up the entire process.
