This can often seem quite challenging at first glance. However, with the right knowledge and understanding you would encounter more convenient and faster ways.

Therefore, we offer documents legalization solutions that cater to specific needs. While for some clients the standard legalization process can be convenient, but for others direct attestation at the embassy or consulate would be the ideal solution.

Below is the comprehensive guide that explain the entire process under each option.

Option 1: Standard Legalization Process:

The United Arab Emirates is not part of the Apostille treaty. Therefore, any document issued in UAE to be used outside, or vice verse, foreign issued documents to be valid for use in the UAE, has to go through the full legalization process. Legalization process of any document including Power of Attorney issued in UAE to be used in Russia will involve following steps:

1. (Electronic) Notarization in the UAE – The initial step is to have your Power of Attorney notarized in the UAE. This can be accomplished by visiting the notary public offices personally or through electronic notarization. We can assist you with both physical notarization at Dubai Courts or with only notarization. For individuals who are currently located outside the UAE, the online notarization can be the ideal option which eliminates the need to travel and saves a lot of time.
2. Attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) UAE – This step is required when the document will be used outside the UAE. MOFA verifies the genuineness of the notarized document and affixes the official UAE MOFA sticker.
3. Legalization by the Russian Consulate Dubai, UAE – Legalization by the Russian Embassy or Consulate in UAE. This step ensures that the document will be recognized in Russia. The embassy or consulate certifies that the document has been duly examined and legalized in accordance with established protocols. Russian Consulate official stickers will be placed on the document.
4. Legal Translation from Arabic to Russian – In the concluding phase, the fully authenticated document must be translated into the Russian language and endorsed by a legal translator. Once the translation is completed, the Power of Attorney is fully prepared and legally valid for use in Russia.
5. Ministry of Foreign Affairs Attestation in Russia – In some instances, depending on the usage of the document, the POA has to be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Russia, to be legally valid.

Option 2: Direct POA Issuance from the Russian Consulate or Embassy in UAE:

Alternatively, you may sign a Power of Attorney directly at the Russian Embassy or Consulate in UAE, which will remove the need for full legalization. The steps of issuing a Power of Attorney at the Russian Embassy in Abu Dhabi or Consulate in Dubai involves following steps:

1. Preparation of the Draft. Prior to your visit the Power of Attorney has to be prepared in accordance with acceptable standards of the Embassy.
2. Collection of Documentation. Depending on the Power of Attorney, the Embassy or Consulate official would require various documents including IDs and ownership documents in relation to assets. The Embassy or Consulate official would act as the notary and verifies the authenticity of the documents.
3. Securing an Appointment at the Embassy or Consulate. Notarizing the document at the Embassy or Consulate requires personal visit by the person who will sign the Power of Attorney. Personal visit can be done only after securing an appointment.
4. Visiting the Consulate. On the date and time of appointment the principal, the person who is giving the POA, must visit the Embassy or Consulate with relevant documents. If the person is not physically in UAE, then this would not be an option and the person can issue a Power using the standard legalization process 9which is explained above). Once the documents and identities are verified, the Embassy or Consulate official notarizes the Power of Attorney, which can be used directly in Russia without any additional attestation.

Our company provides assistance with documentation, preparation of POA draft acceptable to the the Embassy or Consulate and with securing a quick appointment.
