For the United Arab Emirates, an apostille has no effect: Swiss documents must follow the consular legalization chain — legalization by the competent Swiss chancellery, federal over-legalization where required, then the embassy or consulate of United Arab Emirates in Switzerland. Slower, stricter, and exactly what you want handled by people who do it weekly.
Order an apostille →1) Legalization by the state chancellery of the issuing canton (or the Federal Chancellery) · 2) over-legalization where the embassy requires it · 3) legalization by the diplomatic mission of United Arab Emirates. Each stamp builds on the previous one.
Embassies keep their own schedules and fee scales: allow 7–14 additional days after the Swiss steps, sometimes more. Express is not possible at the embassy stage — a complete, correctly-ordered file is the real accelerator, and that is our job.
The Swiss steps follow our standard prices (CHF 140 / 120). The embassy stage varies by country and document: we quote it flat, in writing, before you commit — no surprises.
