At Arabic Translations, based in Dublin, Ireland, we specialise in Apostille certification, document authentication, and legalisation services for individuals, companies, and organisations exporting to the Middle East and North Africa.
An Apostille is an official certificate issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in Ireland, which verifies the authenticity of the signature, seal, or stamp on a public document. It also confirms the authority and capacity of the person who signed the document (for example, a Notary Public, solicitor, or government officer).
The Apostille serves as a fast-track form of legalisation under the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, eliminating the need for additional authentication by embassies in member countries. In simple terms, it is the internationally recognised way to prove that an Irish document is genuine and valid abroad.
When an Apostille is attached, it certifies:
โ
The country of origin of the document
โ
The name of the person who signed the document
โ
The capacity in which the person signed
โ
Details of any seal or stamp appearing on the document
โ
Place and date of issue
โ
The official certificate number
โ
The stamp or seal of the issuing authority
โ
The signature of the issuing DFA officer
With an Apostille, your Irish documents are ready to be presented abroad in all Hague Convention countries, including in the EU and many countries worldwide.
For non-Hague Convention countries (such as Qatar, UAE, or Saudi Arabia), Arabic Translations also offers consular legalisation services, where we handle all steps: Apostille, authentication, and embassy legalisation.
โจ Whether you are an exportโimport company, a student, or a professional, we ensure your documents are processed smoothly, securely, and on time.
