Why Legalize an Agency Agreement for the UAE?

Agency agreements form the backbone of many U.S.- UAE business relationships. They authorize a UAE-based agent to act on behalf of your company, whether for sales, distribution, service provision, or local representation.


However, because these agreements originate outside the UAE, they must be formally legalized to be recognized by UAE courts, government ministries, financial institutions, and free zones. Legalization confirms that your document is:

  • Authentically issued and signed in the U.S.

  • Verified by trusted legal and commercial authorities.

  • Suitable for legal use within the UAE jurisdiction.


Without proper legalization, your agency agreement may be rejected or deemed unenforceable by UAE authorities, delaying critical business operations.

Our Legalization Process: Fast, Compliant and Trusted

Legalizing an agency agreement involves several critical steps, each of which must be performed correctly to avoid rejection or delays. We manage the entire workflow, including:

  • Document Review: We check your agency agreement for proper signatures, content formatting, and notary requirements before submission.

  • Notarization & State certification (if needed): We obtain state-level authentication through Maryland notary and court offices.

  • Federal authentication: When required, your document is sent to the U.S. Department of State for national-level certification.

  • UAE Embassy legalization: Final approval from the UAE Embassy ensures your agreement is recognized for legal use in the UAE.


Our team coordinates with every necessary institution, keeping you informed at each stage and ensuring your document is legalized quickly and correctly.
