- Prepare the translation in a format the Department of Consular Affairs accepts, matching name spelling to the passport.
- Translate using the issuing authority's official names and reconcile every reference number and date with the original.
- Request the Apostille for destinations that are Convention parties and check the certificate format before dispatch.

The receiving body is the UAE Embassy, which checks both the content and the order of certification. Skipping a step usually means the file is returned and the process restarts.
