Legalization Services

AACC: Your reliable agent for coordination and processing of document legalization at related Arab embassies!

Since 1989, the AACC is acting as an institution for legalization services, authorized by the League of Arab States and the Union of Arab Chambers (former “General Union of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture for Arab Countries”).

The AACC coordinates courier services, hand-in and processing of trade documents at related Arab embassies for the following countries:

Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Yemen

The AACC is providing its members as well as external companies and clients with updated information about legalization and handling fees for documents at affiliated consulate sections of Arab embassies in Austria.

AACC member companies benefit from 40% discount on AACC legalization service fees!

NEW SERVICE:

AACC One-Stop-Shop

for electronic notary services,
commercial and personal certifications
& legalisations for all countries!

AACC’s one-stop-shop service offers advantages for companies and to private persons, especially those based in federal provinces outside the capital, but also to those in Vienna.

Due to the central processing of documents in Vienna, AACC handles the document flow on behalf of clients across the relevant authorities (ministries, regional courts, etc.), thus sparing them from having to deal with bureaucratic procedures, while simultaneously accelerating the process significantly.
