Court Record – Embassy Legalization for Arab Countries

Authenticate U.S. Court-Issued Documents for Legal Use in the Middle East & North Africa

The Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC)®, headquartered in Washington D.C., provides complete authentication and embassy legalization services for U.S. court records and legal judgments. Whether you're presenting a divorce decree, adoption ruling, guardianship order, or other civil or criminal court record in an Arab country, the document must be certified and legalized before it can be used abroad.

We specialize in streamlining this process so your court-issued documents are recognized and accepted by Arab government authorities and legal institutions.

What Types of Court Records Can Be Legalized?

We can help you authenticate and legalize most types of official court-issued documents, including:

• Divorce Decrees
  
  

• Guardianship Orders
  
  

• Name Change Judgments
  
  

• Child Custody/Support Orders
  
  

• Probate & Estate Rulings
  
  

• Criminal Court Records or Clearance Documents
  
  

• Civil Judgments
  
  

• Adoption Decrees
  
  

📜 All documents must be certified copies issued by the court or clerk of court.
🖊 They must also be properly signed and sealed to begin the legalization process.

Why Legalize Court Records?

Arab countries typically do not accept foreign court documents unless they are:

1. Certified by the issuing court
   
   

2. Authenticated by the Secretary of State in the state where the court is located
   
   

3. Authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C.
   
   

4. Legalized by the destination country’s embassy
   
   

Legalized court records are required for:

• Marriage registration or divorce recognition abroad
  
  

• Family law and custody disputes
  
  

• Immigration and visa processes
  
  

• Estate and inheritance proceedings
  
  

• Adoption and guardianship verifications
