For documents issued in Italy:
The Step-by-Step Legalization Roadmap
The journey from Rome to the UAE involves a specific sequence of “checks and balances” to prove your document is genuine.
Notarization & Local Legalization (Italy)
Your journey begins at home. Documents must be verified by a Notary Public in Italy. Following this, they are legalized by the relevant local authority—usually the Prefettura (for civil documents) or the Procura della Repubblica (for judicial documents).
UAE Embassy Endorsement (Italy)
Once local authorities have stamped your papers, they must be submitted to the UAE Embassy or Consulate in Italy. This step confirms that the Italian official’s signature is recognized by the UAE government.
MOFA Attestation (UAE)
The final seal is applied once the documents arrive in the Emirates. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE will provide the ultimate attestation, making the document legally valid for use with all government entities and private employers.
Important Note on Translation: Since official UAE business is conducted in Arabic, any document issued in Italian must be translated by a certified legal translator. Both the original and the translation typically need to undergo the attestation process.
