Whether you are opening a business, establishing residency, or getting married, having the correct documentation in order is a must for getting the process started. Often, dealing with countries outside of the Hague Convention can be complicated and time consuming. When presenting your documents to another country, a form of authentication verifying your papers is needed. This can be completed through having your document authenticated and by obtaining a certified copy through the Embassy/Consulate Legalization process.
We provide embassy legalization services for the following countries.
The complete process typically takes 6–8 weeks (expedited 4–6 weeks), depending on the destination country.
We reliably deliver all required documents every time.

Embassy legalization is required when your documents need to be used in a country that is not a member of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. Unlike apostille (which is a single-step certification), embassy legalization involves multiple steps: notarization, state authentication, U.S. Department of State authentication, and finally legalization at the destination country’s embassy or consulate. Countries like the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, and Kuwait require this process.
The complete embassy legalization process typically takes 6–8 weeks (expedited 4–6 weeks), depending on the destination country and embassy processing times. The UAE is faster — about 2 weeks for business documents and 4–6 weeks for personal documents. DC Mobile Notary handles every step in-person in Washington, DC — from notarization through final embassy legalization — eliminating mail delays and reducing total processing time.
Most public and private documents can be legalized, including: birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, corporate documents (articles of incorporation, board resolutions, certificates of good standing), powers of attorney, commercial invoices, and FBI background checks. Each embassy has specific requirements — DC Mobile Notary verifies requirements with the destination embassy before processing to prevent rejections.
