What is a Certificate of Merger?

A Certificate of Merger is an official state-issued document confirming the legal unification of two or more entities into one. It’s often requested by foreign business authorities, such as those in the UAE, to verify structural and legal changes within a company before allowing market access, licensing, investment partnerships, or regulatory compliance.

Without legalization, your certificate will not be recognized in the UAE, regardless of its authenticity in the United States.

End-to-End Legalization Coverage

We manage every aspect of the legalization journey to ensure your Certificate of Merger is fully compliant with UAE requirements. Here’s what our process includes:

  • Pre-Verification & Document Check: Our team begins by reviewing your Certificate of Merger to confirm it is correctly issued, complete, and eligible for legalization.

  • Notarization & State Authentication: If required, your document will be notarized and authenticated at the state level. We most commonly work through the State of Maryland for expedited processing.

  • Federal Authentication: Should your business activities or the UAE entity require it, we submit your certificate to the U.S. Department of State for federal-level approval.

  • US Arab Chamber of Commerce Validation: We affix our official stamp as part of the validation process for international acceptance.

  • UAE Embassy Legalization: The final and essential step is submitting the certificate to UAE Embassy in Washington DC, which officially certifies the document for legal use in the UAE.
