We attest all documents, including personal, educational, police clearance, export, and business documents. Our service includes everything that you need to get your documents attested.
We also offer a discount for 3 or more documents.
The fasted way of finding out what you need, what it costs, and how long it takes to have your documents attested – is to contact our office.
Regardless if you need help with the entire process or have already completed some of the legalisation processes, we can help.
We liaise with the UAE Embassy in London nearly every day. We are very familiar with their requirements and know what it takes to get your documents attested so they don’t get rejected.
The two most popular services that we provide are:
- Apostille & UAE embassy attestation
- Apostille, solicitor certification & UAE embassy attestation
We also get enquires for UAE attestation service only, which we, of course, provide too. It just means that the document that needs to be attested has the apostille certificate already attached.

Translation from English into Arabic
Aside from Dubai, Arabic translation may be required for the 6 emirates, including all Dubai Free Zone authorities. However, translation is rarely requested. If a translation is required, the document(s) are translated from English to Arabic by a certified translator.
Always check with the requesting authority if a translation is required.
