Frequently Asked Questions
Does the UAE require apostille or consular legalization?
The UAE joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2021. Documents issued in the U.S. now only require an apostille — no additional UAE consular legalization is needed for most purposes.
What documents do teachers need for a UAE work visa?
UAE employers typically require apostilled diplomas, FBI background checks, birth certificates, and medical clearances. Some emirates may have additional requirements.
Does my teaching certificate need to be apostilled for the UAE?
Yes. Teaching certificates and licenses should be apostilled. If issued in Florida, we can process the apostille same-day.
How long does the UAE apostille process take?
Florida documents are processed same-day. FBI background check apostilles (federal) take 5-7 business days with expedited service. We recommend starting 8-10 weeks before your departure date.
