Attestation questions

What is document attestation?
Attestation is the process of having a document verified by a chain of authorities so it can be recognised for official use in another country. Each step confirms that the signature and seal from the previous step are genuine.
What is MOFA attestation?
MOFA attestation is the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs step that confirms a document already processed by the issuing country and the UAE mission there. It is commonly required for educational certificates, marriage and birth certificates and commercial documents.
Can you attest a document issued outside the UAE?
Yes. A foreign document normally has to be authenticated in the country where it was issued and processed by the UAE mission there before the UAE steps can be completed. The exact sequence depends on the issuing country, and we confirm it for your case.
How long does attestation take?
It varies with the document type, the issuing country and the authorities involved. Some steps take place outside the UAE and run to those bodies' timelines, so we give you an expected range with your quote rather than a fixed promise.
Do you need the original document?
Usually yes. Most attestation steps require the original, and we confirm exactly what is needed after inspecting the document.
Which documents can be attested?
Educational certificates and transcripts, birth, marriage and death certificates, medical and police clearance certificates, employment letters, and commercial documents such as contracts and resolutions.
