Consulate General of the United States Dubai, UAE

The United Arab Emirates, for consular purposes, is divided into two parts.  The Embassy at Abu Dhabi serves the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.  The Consulate General at Dubai serves the Emirates of Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Um Al-Quwain.

The U.S. Consulate is not able to offer legal representation, assistance or advice.  If you have been the victim or a crime or are having other legal issues, please contact the Dubai Police.  The Consulate also strongly suggests that you hire the services of a local attorney that will be able to provide detailed and accurate information on legal proceedings in the UAE.  For your information, a link to a list of local attorneys is found below.

The Consulate General assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms whose names appear in the attached list.  However, the names have been selected with care.  The law firms listed are arranged alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has not other significance.
