Legalization of personal documents for the UAE
for documents issued in one country to be accepted in another, they must be certified (legalized) in a specific way.
The UAE does not recognize the apostille from any country. Consequently, for a document issued elsewhere to be recognized in the UAE, it must undergo consular legalization (also known as full legalization).
Private Documents for Legalization in the UAE:
Birth or Marriage Certificate: Required to confirm kinship when applying for a residence visa for a spouse or child
Educational Diploma: Often required for employment or other official purposes in the UAE.

Questions & Answers
There are three primary methods to certify (legalize) foreign documents:
1. Exemption from Legalization:
Based on a bilateral agreement, countries may mutually recognize each other’s official documents without additional procedures. For example, such agreements exist among all CIS countries. A document issued in Kazakhstan can be used in the Russian Federation after a certified translation into Russian.
2. Apostille:
This is a simplified method of document legalization under the 1961 Hague Convention. A special "apostille" stamp is placed on the document, after which it is recognized in any other country that is also a signatory to the Convention.
Important Note: The UAE does not recognize apostilles from any country. Therefore, for a document issued elsewhere to be valid in the UAE, it must undergo consular (full) legalization.
3. Consular (Full) Legalization:
This is the standard procedure for certifying documents through the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Consulates of the respective countries involved.

No, the UAE does not recognize apostilles from any country. Therefore, for a document issued abroad to be valid in the UAE, it must undergo consular legalization (also known as full legalization).
Most official documents (such as birth or marriage certificates) and government authorities (such as the immigration service) require full legalization as described.
However, in some cases, a simpler process is sufficient. For example, a standard certified translation into English may be acceptable when submitting a child’s documents to a school or kindergarten.
Therefore, we strongly recommend confirming with the receiving institution which form of document certification they accept.

Legally, a diploma and its academic transcript (or supplement) are considered two separate documents for legalization purposes.
In practice, however, only the diploma itself is often required. For example, when applying for a work visa, legalizing the diploma alone is usually sufficient.
To be certain, please confirm with the receiving institution whether they require the legalized transcript as well.

A simple translation is a translation performed by any person or program, for example, through Google Translate. Obviously, such a translation has the least "legal force", but this type of translation is also suitable for some everyday situations.
Legal translation is a form of official translation established in the UAE when translation is performed by translators licensed by the Ministry of Justice. When making such a translation, the translator puts his signature and seal and is responsible for the correctness and reliability of the translation.
Notarial translation is a form of official translation established in the Russian Federation when the translation is performed by specialized translators. The translator signs his signature and is responsible for the correctness and reliability of the translation. However, in addition to the translator's signature, this document is additionally certified by the notary's signature and seal.
