Corporate and legal documents issued abroad, such as a parent company's certificate or a power of attorney, usually do. The UAE is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so the document is certified by the issuing country's foreign ministry, then by the UAE embassy or consulate there, and finally by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Start this early, because it often sets the pace of the whole file.
