What is a Certificate of Existence?

A Certificate of Existence is an official document issued by the U.S. Secretary of State confirming that a business is legally registered, compliant with state requirements, and authorized to operate. It serves as vital proof that your company is active, current on state filings, and not in default or suspended.

When submitting this document in the UAE, for company formation, visa issuance, bank account opening, or regulatory compliance, it must be authenticated through a multistep legalization process. That’s where our team comes in.

Importance of Legalizing a Certificate of Existence for use in UAE

For companies looking to expand their operations or maintain compliance in the UAE, the legalization of the Certificate of Existence is critical. Without proper legalization, your document may be rejected, leading to delays in:

  • Company registration or license renewals.

  • Opening corporate bank accounts.

  • Participating in public or private tenders.

  • Leasing commercial property.

  • Verifying your company’s active status to potential partners.

Legalization ensures that your Certificate of Existence is recognized by UAE government bodies and private sector organizations as valid and enforceable.
