What is a legalized wedding certificate and why it matters?

Written by florian on . Posted in blog.

Legalization is the process of making prohibitions from the law be removed, hence for it be considered legal. As it pertains to documents, it is the act of certifying said document to be recognized by the country that issues it and is then recognized by that country as valid and original. All bureaucratic documents in any country will not be considered valid unless it undergoes legalization.

Processes such as residencies or banking would require legalized documents in any country. It is their way of making interactions between two parties legal and official. You have to, in all cases, go to the respective notary and have said documents legalized.

Why does a legalized wedding certificate matter in Dubai?

As mentioned, the country has to recognize the document as legal.

UAE is not a part of the Apostille Convention, hence the legalization process is different than for the Apostille countries. If you want your UAE wedding certificate to be valid in your home country, whether it is or it is not a part of the Apostille Convention, they would require legalization in their embassies. Countries like Kuwait, Lebanon and Oman for example are also not part of the Apostille Convention, therefore they need to be legalized by their respective embassies.

On the bright side once you legalize your certificate for one of the Apostile countries it will most probably valid for the rest of them (over 100 countries in total).

However you should always double check the requirements of your particular embassy as some countries still have different legalization process even being a part of the Apostile convention. Better safe than sorry.

Having your wedding certificate valid is of the utmost importance. If you are unsure of what steps your situation calls out for, contact our legal team for advice.

The love story behind Easy Wedding Dubai

Written by florian on . Posted in blog.

Flo and Liz are the brains, or better yet the hearts, of Easy Wedding. A startup that started in the pursuit of solving a problem they could not quite crack at the time – getting married. Living in Dubai made them subject to the laws and regulations in the UAE which meant getting married was not an easy task. This is their journey in what would eventually become Easy Wedding.

How they met and what happened after

Liz is from Paraguay but has been living in different countries from an early age. She travelled often because of her career. She has been in the GCC for 7 years now. Flo is from France and was living between Georgia & Dubai because of his business. He has been working abroad for 10 years now. Liz met Flo on his birthday and they steadily moved in each other’s life.

After some time of dating each other, like any couple, they decided that they wanted to move in together legally. Being aware of the laws in Dubai of living together for the couples that are not married (long before the recent changes), they decided that getting married would be the solution. However, the sentiment of getting married in church with all the family and loved ones was something that they wanted to save for later. They only need a marriage certificate right now. So, they decided to call their respective embassies which required a lot of documents and some time. They decided they didn’t want to wait.

“As a woman, working far from home for such a long time, I could not tolerate any longer to live my love story in the fear of becoming an outlaw in the eyes of the GCC regulations. Nevertheless, the main trigger for me to move into this adventure was when I realized that so many people were in the need of such a service. This, without them even knowing it, was possible.”

How Easy Wedding Dubai got started

They decided yo go for a quick and formal destination wedding in Georgia as Flo was familiar with the country and thought that it could be good to find solutions there. They called local wedding companies and all they wanted to sell them was a grand wedding, not fully understanding the problems that they were in at the time. It took about a month of consulting with lawyers and embassies in Georgia as well but a solution has been found. Flo and Liz got married with a certificate that is valid in Dubai.

“Being citizens of the world, we never understood why a love story could become such a headache when it comes to making it official. After living abroad for the last 10 years, we are deeply concerned by the high number of people not able to start a family for documentation issues. Our efforts are here to bring international people together. When there is love, there is a solution to find. If there is none, we will make one”

Back in Dubai, they shared their experience with friends who were facing the same complications and problems about getting married in Dubai. Those friends shared Flo and Liz’ experience with their friends until it became a viable business. Flo decided to leave his job and do Easy Wedding Dubai full time until Liz could join him. Today this cute couple helps dozens of other lovebirds to say “I do” to each other, whether it’s happening in the UAE or abroad.

In the grand scheme of things, anyone can marry you anywhere. Their adventure started because in countries like the UAE or the GCC, getting married can be tough for international couples and a steady long process. Especially if your spouse is from a country which does not mandate itself the same way as the UAE or the GCC. However, all the problems that you could be facing, there is a solution.
