MOFA attestation – certification by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs – is the final and mandatory step in the attestation chain for any foreign document used officially in the UAE. Even after home-country verification and Embassy attestation, a document is not considered legally valid in the UAE until it carries MOFA’s stamp.
Documents That Require MOFA Attestation
- Educational certificates (degrees, diplomas, transcripts)
- Personal certificates (birth, marriage, divorce, death)
- Commercial and legal documents (Power of Attorney, company documents)
We handle MOFA UAE submission as part of every attestation service we provide – it is never a separate step you need to arrange yourself. If you already have Embassy-attested documents and only need the MOFA stage completed, contact us and we can process that final step directly.
What You’ll Need
- Document already Embassy-attested in the country of origin
- Passport copy
Typical Turnaround
2-4 working days (final stage only), starting from the day we collect your original documents. Timelines depend on the issuing authority’s current processing queue – we’ll confirm a specific estimate for your document when you contact us.
