Legalization of German Documents in the UAE & UAE Documents in Germany

Do you need to use German documents in the UAE or UAE documents in Germany? This requires careful legalization to ensure your documents are accepted by official authorities. Quick Attestation Agency in Dubai is here to simplify this process for you.

What is Document Legalization?

Document legalization (also called attestation or authentication) is an official process that verifies the authenticity of a document and the signature of the issuing authority. This is necessary when you need to use a document from one country in another country.

Process for Legalizing German Documents for Use in the UAE

Since February 13, 2020, Germany has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. This simplifies the legalization process significantly.

1
Apostille from Germany

The first step is to obtain an Apostille stamp on your German document. This is done by the relevant authority in Germany, usually the regional administrative office (Landesverwaltungsamt) in the state where the document was issued.

2
UAE Embassy Attestation in Germany (May be required):

Depending on the nature of the document and its intended use, you may need to have the Apostille certificate further attested by the UAE Embassy in Berlin. It's best to confirm this requirement with the UAE authorities or with Quick Attestation Agency.

3
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Attestation in the UAE (May be required):

Once you have the Apostille and the UAE Embassy attestation (if applicable), you might need to get the document attested by the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE. This is the final step in the legalization process.

Process for Legalizing UAE Documents for Use in Germany

1
Notarization

Start by having your UAE document notarized by a notary public in the UAE.

2
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Attestation in the UAE

The document then needs to be attested by the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

3
Apostille from the UAE

Next, you'll need to obtain an Apostille stamp on the document from the Ministry of Justice in the UAE.

4
Translation into German

The document must be translated into German by a certified translator in Germany. This translation may also need to be notarized.
