For a UAE bank, business transaction, work permit, school or family application, the first step depends on who issued the U.S. document and who will accept it in the UAE. These are starting points; we confirm your document's actual requirements during the free review.
Business & corporateCompany documents: Good Standing, LLC & corporate records
Certificate of Good Standing, Articles of Organization / Incorporation, board resolutions and company agreements for a UAE bank, branch, partner or other recipient.
First check: Company’s U.S. state, issuing authority, required document and UAE recipient. Corporate records generally need the relevant state’s authentication before the applicable UAE attestation submission. Custom quote by document.
Business & personal POAsPower of Attorney & notarized business agreements
Commercial powers of attorney, authorizations, contracts and other signed U.S. documents may need notarization and state authentication. A business POA may be classified as a commercial document with different fees.
First check: Draft or signed document, U.S. notarization state and the UAE recipient’s instructions. We confirm the format and route before you sign or pay.
Work & immigrationFBI Background Check for the UAE
An FBI Identity History Summary is a U.S. federal document. It does not follow the same state-issued certificate route as a birth or marriage record.
First check: Your FBI report and the employer or UAE authority’s request. We check the federal authentication and applicable UAE attestation requirements; price is confirmed separately.
Employment & educationU.S. Diploma, Degree & Transcript Attestation
A UAE employer, university or licensing body may ask for a degree, transcript or proof of school accreditation. The institution and document format matter.
First check: U.S. school, degree/transcript and recipient requirements. Educational documents are subject to federal authentication before the applicable UAE attestation route; the embassy also lists accreditation requirements.
Personal & family documentsBirth, Marriage, Death & Divorce Certificates
Documents for family, residence or other UAE official requests must be reviewed for the issuing state and correct certified-copy format. A plain photocopy may not be sufficient.
First check: State-issued certified copy, issue details and UAE recipient requirements. State preparation and federal authentication may apply before UAE attestation.
International tradeCommercial Invoice & Certificate of Origin
UAE MoFA uses eDAS 2.0 for commercial invoices and certificates of origin, including those issued outside the UAE. This is a different process from ordinary corporate-document legalization.
First check: Document type, trading company and eDAS registration. We review whether we can assist or whether you should use MoFA’s eDAS service directly. Custom quote if assistance is available.
Federal & specialist recordsFDA, USDA, USPTO & Other U.S. Certificates
Regulatory, export, trademark and other specialist documents may need agency-specific verification. A PDF alone does not establish that a document is eligible for every attestation route.
First check: Issuing agency, document format and UAE recipient. We confirm whether we can handle the request and provide a case-specific quote.
