Consular document legalisation: Australia

How Hello Emirates Bot works

We developed our own Hello Emirates Bot to check document legalisation appointments at the Australian consulate in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Press the button for a one-off check, then book a suitable time yourself.

Appointment and slot monitoring questions

Do I need to install the Chrome extension?

No. This bot works directly on the page, without an extension or activation code. Press the slot-check button to start searching.

How many free checks can I run?

There is no limit on the number of checks. You start each check with the button; this bot does not run automatic scheduled checks.

What does the bot show?

The bot checks Abu Dhabi and Dubai and shows the nearest available date and time separately for each centre. The result also tells you if there are no appointments or the calendar could not be checked.

How do I book a slot the bot finds?

Press “Next — book an appointment” to open the official website. Choose a time, complete the form yourself and retain the confirmation. Another applicant may take the slot before you finish booking.

Does the bot collect applicant details?

The bot does not read personal details from the booking form. You enter them yourself on the official website when completing your booking.

What if the appointment check fails?

Try another check later or use the bot’s button to open the official booking website. An error message does not mean there are no available appointments.

Consular legalisation with Hello Emirates

Our service covers document preparation and legalisation support, not just appointment booking. We assist with personal, educational and corporate documents, including certificates, diplomas, official records, company documents and other originals, where the relevant mission accepts them for the action you need. We coordinate specialist work and document handling through trusted partners.

We first establish the route: where the document was issued, the country and organisation where it will be used, and which certifications it already carries. UAE-issued documents for use abroad and foreign documents for use in the UAE can require different certification chains. Consular legalisation, MOFA attestation, copy certification and personal signature witnessing are distinct procedures; we agree the route applicable to your case.

What our support covers

• Initial document and certification-route checks

  We carry out preliminary checks of scans, confirm the mission’s requirements, required originals and completed certification stages. Before documents are handed over, we explain whether the selected procedure applies and what further steps are needed.

• Document-pack preparation

  We provide a checklist and help assemble originals, copies, forms and supporting evidence. If prior certifications in the issuing country or other authorities are required, we separately agree their sequence and whether they can be arranged through partners.

• Translation to the receiving party’s requirements

  Where needed, we arrange translation through specialist translators and confirm the language and translation certification accepted by the mission or receiving organisation. Translation is agreed and charged separately.

• UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attestation

  We arrange UAE MOFA attestation through a specialist partner after the required prior certifications. This stage is included in support starting from AED 1,500 per document. Its position in the overall certification chain depends on the document’s origin and intended use.

• Consular-stage preparation

  We confirm current submission procedures, document-pack requirements and consular fee arrangements. We explain how appointments are made and what to prepare for the visit. Where the mission requires the applicant to register or book personally, the client does so; our support does not override this rule.

• Submission and collection coordination

  Where the mission permits a representative, we coordinate document handover, submission and collection through a partner, including the required authorisation. Where personal attendance is required, we prepare the pack and instructions for the client’s visit. We do not promise remote witnessing of a personal signature.

• Stage tracking and document return

  We keep you informed of the agreed stages, check progress with the specialists involved and coordinate collection and return of originals by an available method. If the receiving authority asks for additional documents, we agree the next steps. Delivery arrangements are agreed separately.

Pricing and service scope

Support starts from AED 1,500 per document and includes UAE MOFA attestation. Consular fees, translation, delivery and additional certifications are agreed separately before work starts. After checking the document, we agree the stages, price and estimated timing, taking appointment availability and the mission’s processing into account. The relevant authority retains the decision on accepting and certifying the document.

How to get started

Contact us with a scan or clear photograph of the document. Tell us the issuing country, destination and intended use, your nationality, existing certifications and whether you hold the original. We first agree the applicable route and service scope, then document handover and any personal attendance. Preliminary checks can begin remotely; originals and attendance depend on the relevant mission’s rules.

Hello Emirates service support

Contact us to confirm current appointment requirements and agree the scope of support. Requirements can change, and many embassies require the applicant or a citizen of the relevant country to make the booking personally. After reviewing your document, we will clarify the available preparation, submission and collection process, including any stages that require personal participation.

Australia: consular appointments in the UAE for document legalisation

Notarial services require appointments through the separate Abu Dhabi and Dubai office calendars. During preparation, we establish the appropriate service and file requirements for the relevant office.

1. Book in Abu Dhabi

   Open the Australian Embassy’s own Setmore calendar for an Abu Dhabi appointment. This booking is for notarial services, not visa applications.

   Abu Dhabi calendar

2. Book in Dubai

   Use the Dubai calendar for the Australian Consulate-General. Choose the city where you intend to submit your documents.

3. Select the service and a time

   Select the action your document requires: legalisation, copy certification or signature witnessing. Choose an available time, enter the visitor’s details and save the confirmation.

4. Prepare the original and your ID

   Bring your document and valid ID. Do not sign a document in advance if your signature needs witnessing. Notarial fees are paid by card; cash is not accepted.
