Consular Legalisation
Consular Legalisation:
Countries that are not signed up to the Hague Convention require a further verification process from their embassies or consulates.
Where necessary, I provide an expert and efficient consular legalisation service; particularly for the UAE. If you are relocating to Dubai, starting a new career in the Emirates, or opening a branch office in Abu Dhabi, you will need your academic certificates or company resolutions attested at the London Consulate. Corporate documents, official certificates, as well as certificates and diplomas are accepted by the UAE government authorities only if there is consular legalisation.
I work with London- based Peter Casinhas. Peter is an expert in the legalisation of documents for the UAE. Between us, we provide a speedy and efficient service keeping up to date with the very latest procedural changes and fees. See March 2025 UAE embassy digital attestation.
The procedure changed early on in 2025. Now, the embassy doesn’t physically stamp our documents, they scan and digitally stamp them before sending back the hard copies. Helpfully, the Embassy provides us with a code which we use to view or download the attested document.
Documents for use in the UAE? We can arrange UK Foreign Office legalisation and full consular legalisation at the UAE’s embay in London – just ask.
