Certificate Attestation

Attested, accepted, done.

Your documents, officially recognized.

We handle certificate attestation for the UAE end-to-end — degrees, marriage and birth certificates, and commercial documents — through notarization, home-country authentication, UAE embassy attestation, and final MOFA attestation, so your documents are accepted by UAE government bodies, employers, and institutions.

What We Attest

Educational documents — degree certificates, diplomas, and transcripts
Personal documents — marriage certificates, birth certificates, divorce certificates, death certificates
Commercial documents — company and corporate documents for UAE business use
Other certificates — experience letters, transfer certificates, and police clearance certificates

How Attestation Works — The Stages

Attestation is a chain, not a single stamp — each stage confirms the one before it:

1. Notarization (where required) — a notary confirms the document’s authenticity in its country of origin
2. Home-country authentication — the relevant education department, ministry, or issuing authority verifies the document
3. Foreign ministry authentication — the issuing country’s own foreign affairs ministry authenticates it
4. UAE embassy attestation — the UAE embassy in the document’s home country adds its attestation
5. UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attestation — the final stage, confirming the document for use inside the UAE

The steps depend on the document, issuing country and intended use. An apostille does not automatically replace UAE attestation requirements; we check the applicable process before starting.

Why Attestation Is Required

UAE authorities, employers, and institutions require attested documents to confirm authenticity before accepting them for visas, employment, education, or business use. An unattested foreign document is typically not accepted on its own, however genuine it is.

Need Some Clarity?

We’ve Got the Answers

How long does certificate attestation take?

Timelines vary by document type and issuing country; we advise on expected turnaround during your consultation.

Do I need attestation for a job visa in the UAE?

Degree attestation is commonly required for employment visa processing in many professional roles — we confirm requirements based on your specific case.

What is MOFA attestation?

The final stage of UAE document attestation, confirming a foreign-issued document for official use inside the UAE, after it has passed through the earlier stages of the chain.

What is apostille attestation, and does it apply to my document?

An apostille is an authentication certificate used in certain cross-border processes. For documents intended for use in the UAE, an apostille does not automatically replace UAE attestation requirements. We check the steps for your document and issuing country.

Can you attest commercial or company documents, not just personal ones

Yes — corporate and commercial document attestation is part of what we handle, particularly for businesses dealing with cross-border contracts or filings.
