How it works in the UAE
Emirates ID — the central document everything is tied to: rental, banking, connectivity, school, doctor. Foreign documents are legalised through a two-step chain: first in the country of issue, then at the UAE consulate and at the local foreign ministry. An apostille alone is not sufficient here.
What we need from you to get started
- Residence visa or a submitted application
- Original documents that need to be legalised
- Address and officially registered lease agreement
Where things most often go wrong
- —Got an apostille and assumed that was enough: for the UAE, consular legalisation — that is a different procedure
- —The diploma or marriage certificate was not fully legalised and was rejected as early as the school or spouse visa stage
- —The name in the passport and on the Emirates ID are recorded differently
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
