If you need to use your French documents in the UAE, they must be legalized before UAE authorities can accept them. Whether it’s for employment, education, marriage registration, family visa applications, or business setup, the legalization process ensures your French-issued documents are recognized as authentic and valid in the UAE.

At Quick Attestation, we provide end-to-end French document legalization services — including FREE pickup and delivery anywhere in the UAE — so you don’t have to deal with embassies, ministries, or complicated paperwork.

What is French Document Legalization for UAE?

Legalization of French documents for UAE is the process of authenticating documents issued in France so they can be used officially in the UAE. Since the UAE is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille alone is not enough — your documents must go through a full legalization process involving French authorities, the UAE Embassy in Paris, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) in the UAE.

Step-by-Step Process for Legalizing French Documents for UAE

1️⃣ Certification by French Authorities

  • What it is: Your document must first be certified in France by the relevant issuing authority.
  • Examples:
    • Educational certificates → Certified by the French Ministry of Education.
    • Birth, marriage, death certificates → Certified by the local mairie (city hall).
    • Commercial documents → Certified by the Chamber of Commerce.

2️⃣ Authentication by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MEAE)

  • The Ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères (MEAE) confirms the signature and seal of the issuing authority.
  • This step is mandatory before your document can be legalized by the UAE Embassy in France.

3️⃣ UAE Embassy Legalization in Paris

  • The UAE Embassy in Paris verifies that your document is genuine and complies with UAE legal standards.
  • They stamp and sign the document, confirming it for use in the UAE.

4️⃣ Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) Legalization in UAE

  • Once your document arrives in the UAE, the MoFA applies the final legalization stamp or e-sticker.
  • After this step, your document is fully recognized for official purposes in the UAE.
