Consular Legalization of Armenian Diploma and Certificate for the UAE
If you plan to work or study in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), your diploma or certificate issued in Armenia must undergo the procedure of consular legalization. This is a mandatory process because the UAE does not recognize the apostille and requires the certification of all official documents through the consular procedure.
The company Business Liga provides services for the consular legalization of Armenian documents for the UAE, helping you avoid bureaucratic complexities and long waits.
What is consular legalization and why is it needed?
Consular legalization is the process of official confirmation of the authenticity of documents, which includes certification by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, and the UAE Consulate.
📌 When is consular legalization required?
✔ For employment in the UAE (especially for doctors, engineers, teachers)
✔ For admission to universities in the UAE
✔ For obtaining a resident visa under an employment contract
✔ For confirming qualifications with local authorities
💡 Important! Without a legalized diploma, you will not be able to get a job in your profession or confirm your education with Emirati authorities.
