Affidavit – Embassy Legalization for Arab Countries

Authenticate U.S.-Notarized Affidavits for Official Use in the Arab World

The Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC)®, based in Washington D.C., provides full-service embassy legalization and authentication for U.S. affidavits. Whether you are using a personal affidavit, a sworn business declaration, or a legal statement, most Arab countries require these documents to be notarized and legalized before they can be accepted by embassies, courts, or government institutions.

We streamline the entire process—from notarization review to final embassy legalization—so your affidavit is accepted abroad without delays.

What Is an Affidavit?

An affidavit is a sworn written statement voluntarily made under oath before a notary public. It is commonly used in international legal, business, personal, and governmental matters.

Common types of affidavits include:

• 🔹 Affidavit of Support
  
  

• 🔹 Affidavit of Single Status
  
  

• 🔹 Affidavit of Name Discrepancy
  
  

• 🔹 Affidavit of Consent (for minor travel or marriage)
  
  

• 🔹 Business Declarations or Sole Proprietorship Affidavits
  
  

• 🔹 Affidavit of Identity or Nationality
  
  

• 🔹 Affidavit of Lawful Presence or Residence
  
  

📌 U.S. affidavits must be notarized by a commissioned notary public and signed in front of them.
🖊 We can also assist with template preparation or review if needed.

Why Do You Need to Legalize an Affidavit?

If you're submitting an affidavit for use in any Arab country, it must go through a multi-step legalization process to be recognized officially:

1. Notarization – Document must be properly notarized in the U.S.
   
   

2. Secretary of State Certification – Confirmed in the state where the notary is licensed
   
   

3. U.S. Department of State Authentication – Validates the document at the federal level
   
   

4. Embassy Legalization – Final legalization by the destination country’s Arab embassy in Washington D.C.
   
   

❌ Documents that skip any of these steps may be rejected by foreign authorities.
