Legalization of Brazil Documents in the UAE & Brazil for Use in the UAE

Are you looking to use Brazilian documents in the UAE or Emirati documents in Brazil? The process involves a series of legalizations to ensure your documents are recognized as valid in both countries. This guide provides a clear overview of the process, whether you're an individual or a business seeking document attestation.

What is Document Legalization?

Document legalization (also known as attestation or authentication) is a formal procedure that confirms the authenticity of a document's origin. This is typically required when submitting official documents issued in one country to authorities in another country.

Process for Legalizing Brazilian Documents for Use in the UAE

The process for legalizing documents for use in the UAE typically involves the following steps:

1
Notarization

The first step is to have your Brazilian document notarized by a local notary public in Brazil. This verifies the document's authenticity and the signature of the issuer.

2
State Authentication

After notarization, the document needs to be authenticated by the State where the document was issued in Brazil. This is usually done by the Secretary of State's office.

3
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Attestation in Brazil

The next step is to get the document attested by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Brasilia. This confirms the state authentication.

4
UAE Embassy Attestation in Brazil

The document then needs to be attested by the UAE Embassy or Consulate in Brazil. This is a crucial step for the UAE authorities to recognize the document.

5
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Attestation in the UAE:

Once you bring the document to the UAE, it requires attestation by the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This is the final step in the legalization process.
