UAE Certificate of Status Legalization Services

Expanding your business or entering new markets in the UAE often requires submitting official U.S. business documents for government, legal, or commercial purposes. One of the most commonly requested documents is the Certificate of Status. This document verifies that your company is legally registered and compliant with all relevant regulations in the U.S.


However, before your Certificate of Status can be accepted in the UAE, it must go through a formal legalization process to be recognized by local authorities. At the US Arab Chamber of Commerce, we offer reliable, fast, and fully compliant certificate of status legalization services, helping your company meet international requirements with ease and confidence.

Why Legalize a Certificate of Status for the UAE?

A certificate of status serves as legal proof that a business entity is properly registered with the state and authorized to conduct operations. For companies looking to operate, invest, or contract with entities in the UAE, this document is often mandatory. However, foreign-issued documents like these must be authenticated and legalized to be valid under UAE law.

Legalization ensures the document has been verified by multiple U.S. and UAE authorities, confirming the legitimacy of your business and the authenticity of the certificate. Without proper legalization, your certificate may be rejected by UAE government agencies, banks, or business partners, potentially delaying important deals or applications.

Compliance with UAE legal and commercial standards

The UAE has established clear legal procedures for accepting foreign documents, and a certificate of status is no exception. For this document to be valid in the UAE, it must pass through a structured process involving notarization, authentication, chamber endorsement, and embassy attestation.


The UAE government requires documents to originate from trusted sources and follow a strict chain of custody to ensure that:

  • The document was issued by a legally recognized U.S. authority.

  • The content of the certificate of status is accurate and current.

  • All required signatures and sales are properly verified through U.S. government and commercial channels.

  • A legitimate U.S. commercial body, such as the US Arab Chamber of Commerce, confirms the document’s authenticity.
