Document Attestation

Many UAE processes need your documents attested, like a family visa or a job offer. We guide you through each stage, from your home country and the UAE embassy to MOFA. You start online, and our team arranges collection of originals.

Who it's for

  • Residents sponsoring a spouse or children who need attested marriage or birth certificates
  • Job seekers and employees whose degree must be attested for work
  • Businesses with invoices, certificates of origin or powers of attorney
  • Anyone using a UAE-issued document abroad

Eligibility

  • Foreign documents usually go: home-country authority, then the UAE embassy there, then MOFA in the UAE
  • UAE-issued documents for use abroad usually go: MOFA, then the other country's embassy
  • Original documents are needed for most stages
  • Documents not in Arabic or English may need a translation
  • Each country has its own steps, so we confirm the route for your document
