UAE business document guidance
Start with the paperwork: identify the receiving authority, obtain its current document list and check which documents need attestation, notarisation or translation.
Start with the receiving authority’s document list
Before comparing company packages, identify the authority that will receive your documents and ask for its current checklist. Record who issued each document, who must sign it and whether the authority requests attestation, notarisation or translation.
- Company document checklist: organise the paperwork before requesting a quote.
- Commercial document attestation: understand the route for corporate records.
- Power of attorney attestation: check the document route if someone will act on your behalf.
