Step by Step US POA Legalization Process:

  1. Notarization / Re-notarization – Our partner in the United States, based in Washington, DC, will assist you with the notarization process. We understand that our clients may be located in different parts of the country. Therefore, if you are unable to visit our Washington, DC office, you can have your Power of Attorney notarized in any state. Once notarized, you can then send the document to our office in Washington, DC, where we will re-notarize it without requiring your personal presence.
  2. Authentication by Secretary of State – During the legalization process, the Secretary of State plays a crucial role in verifying the authenticity, genuineness, and validity of the document. If the Power of Attorney (POA) was notarized in Washington, DC, the Secretary of State in that jurisdiction will authenticate it. An Authentication Certificate will be provided and attached accordingly.
  3. Apostille by the US Department of State – This step will officially validate the seals, signatures, and stamps of public officials on the document, ensuring its authenticity and legal recognition.
  4. Legalization by the UAE Embassy in Washington, D.C, USA – This attestation serves as confirmation that the document has undergone the correct process of legalization, adhering to the standard procedure. The interpretation of the document will solely be determined by the office-bearing authority, regardless of whether it is for personal or commercial purposes. The official sticker of the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs-Washington Consular Section will be affixed accordingly.
  5. Attestation by Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) UAE – This is the ultimate and final step, where the document undergoes thorough verification. An additional official sticker will be affixed, marking the completion of the process. Once this is done, the Power of Attorney (POA) will be deemed legally valid and ready for use.
