UAE Embassy Legalization: A Comprehensive Guide for Legalizing Articles of Organization from the USA
Steps for Legalizing Articles of Organization for the UAE
Legalizing your Articles of Organization involves several stages. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:
1. Notarization
The first step is to get your Articles of Organization notarized by a licensed notary public in the USA. Notarization confirms that the signatures on the document are genuine and that the signatories acted voluntarily.
2. State Authentication
After notarization, the document needs to be authenticated at the state level. This involves obtaining a certificate from the Secretary of State's office in the state where the document was notarized. The certificate verifies the notary public’s authority and the authenticity of their seal and signature.
3. U.S. Department of State Certification
Next, the document must be certified by the U.S. Department of State. This step further confirms the validity of the state-level authentication.
4. UAE embassy legalization
The final step is to have the document legalized by the UAE embassy or consulate in the USA. This involves submitting the document along with the necessary fees and application forms. The embassy or consulate will review the document and, upon approval, affix their seal and signature, completing the legalization process.
