Attestation in the UAE: A Complete Beginner’s Guide

Attestation in the UAE is the official process of verifying documents for use in legal, academic, immigration, and employment purposes. Whether you’re applying for a job, planning to study abroad, or sponsoring your family, proper document attestation ensures that your papers are legally recognized by UAE authorities.

At Dar Al Bayan Legal Translation, we provide end-to-end attestation services—from notarization to embassy and MOFA approvals—making the process smooth and stress-free for you.

What Is Attestation?

Attestation is the process of authenticating a document by authorized government bodies to verify its legitimacy. It includes stamping, signing, and verifying the original and translated documents by:

  • Notary Public
  • Home Country Authorities
  • UAE Embassy/Consulate
  • Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) – UAE

Why Do You Need Attestation in the UAE?

Attestation is required for:

  • Employment visa applications
  • Student visa processing
  • Family sponsorship
  • Marriage registration
  • Power of Attorney use
  • Property transactions
  • Academic equivalency and university admissions

Without proper attestation, your documents may be rejected or deemed invalid by UAE institutions.

Step-by-Step Guide to Document Attestation in the UAE

Step 1: Notarization in Your Home Country

Your original document (e.g., degree, birth certificate) must be notarized by a local notary public or authorized body.

Step 2: Attestation by Foreign Affairs in Your Country

Once notarized, it must be approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (or equivalent) in your home country.

Step 3: Attestation from UAE Embassy or Consulate

The UAE Embassy in your country then verifies and stamps the document.

Step 4: MOFA Attestation in the UAE

Upon arrival in the UAE, your document needs to be authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) to be legally recognized.

Step 5: Legal Translation (If Needed)

If your document is in a foreign language, a certified Arabic translation is required. Dar Al Bayan Legal Translation Team can help you with MOJ-approved legal translations.
