Teacher Credentials – Embassy Legalization for Arab Countries

Authenticate Your U.S. Teaching Certification for Work Abroad

The Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC)®, based in Washington D.C., provides complete embassy legalization services for teacher credentials, teaching licenses, and state-issued educator certifications. If you’re an educator pursuing teaching opportunities in the Middle East or North Africa, your U.S. credentials must be authenticated and legalized before you can legally work or register with a foreign Ministry of Education.

We specialize in fast, accurate processing to ensure your teaching documents are fully recognized by the embassies and education authorities of Arab countries.

Why Legalize Your Teacher Credentials?

Most Arab countries require foreign educators to submit legalized proof of qualification, including:

• 🏫 State-issued teaching certificates or licenses
  
  

• 📜 Department of Education endorsements
  
  

• 🎓 Education-related diplomas and transcripts
  
  

• 👩‍🏫 Letters of experience or employment verification from schools
  
  

Legalization confirms that your documents are:

1. Genuine and issued by a U.S. government or accredited institution
   
   

2. Valid for use in the destination country’s legal or educational system
   
   

3. Accepted by immigration, licensing, or human resources departments
   
   

🔒 Unlegalized credentials may delay hiring, work visa approval, or licensing.
