The process for a assignment from Delaware

  1. Notarize in Delaware. Sign the assignment before a Delaware notary public. The notary must attach one of Delaware's approved notarial certificates — a jurat (for a sworn statement) or an acknowledgment — worded exactly as the state requires; the wrong wording is a common cause of rejection. Confirm the approved wording in the Delaware notary handbook, or print one of the certificates we keep on file:
  2. Delaware Secretary of State authentication of the notary.
  3. U.S. Department of State authentication.
  4. United Arab Emirates embassy/consulate legalization — the final step United Arab Emirates recognizes.

Frequently asked questions

Does United Arab Emirates require consular legalization?
Yes. United Arab Emirates is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. documents require full consular legalization: state and U.S. Department of State authentication, followed by legalization at the United Arab Emirates embassy or consulate.
Where do I get my assignment notarized?
Sign it before a notary in Delaware. The notary must attach one of Delaware’s approved notarial certificates — a jurat or an acknowledgment — worded exactly as the state requires, since the wrong wording is the most common cause of rejection.
How long does it take to legalize a document for United Arab Emirates?
A typical single-document order takes about 21 business days once we have your documents, so an order placed today would be ready around October 22, 2026. Timelines exclude shipping and can vary with government processing and consular queues.
How much does it cost to legalize a assignment for United Arab Emirates?
Our fee for a single assignment for United Arab Emirates starts at $1522.75. That excludes document scanning ($1 per page) and return or forwarding shipping; applicable government and consular fees are included. Use the estimator above to price multiple documents.
Do I need to send you the original documents?
Yes. Apostilles and consular legalization are affixed to original, wet-ink or officially certified documents, so we work with the physical originals. We return the finished, legalized originals to you — or ship them anywhere in the world, including directly to your foreign agent.
