Why Legalize a Letter of Authorization for use in the UAE?

A Letter of Authorization (LOA) is a formal document that empowers a specific person or organization with legal rights or authority to act on behalf of another. Whether it’s authorizing an agent to act on behalf of your business, empowering a representative for legal filings, or approving specific transactions, this document must be recognized as authentic and legally binding.


However, U.S.-issued Letters of Authorization are not automatically valid in the UAE. To be accepted, they must be authenticated and legalized through a multi-step process involving U.S. state, federal, and UAE embassy approvals. Legalization guarantees that the document is:

  • Issued by a legitimate authority.

  • Notarized and validated through official U.S. channels.

  • Endorsed by the US Arab Chamber of Commerce.

  • Attested by the UAE embassy in Washington DC.

This process ensures your Letter of Authorization complies with legal and commercial standards set by the UAE government.
