Attestation · MOFAIC · Embassy · Apostille
Attest any document for use in the UAE
Educational, personal and commercial documents, attested through the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFAIC), plus any embassy, home-country or apostille steps needed first. We coordinate the licensed partners; you track it all from your phone.
What it is
Attestation is a chain of official stamps confirming your document is genuine, so UAE authorities will accept it. Depending on where your document was issued, the chain can involve home-country attestation (or apostille), the UAE embassy in that country, and finally the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFAIC). We map the exact chain for your document, coordinate the licensed partners, and return the completed original to you.

FAQ
What does attestation actually mean?
It's a chain of official stamps confirming your document is genuine, so UAE authorities will accept it.
Can you attest a document from my home country?
Yes. It usually needs to be attested (or apostilled) in the home country and at the UAE embassy there first, then MOFAIC in the UAE. We'll explain the full chain and cost for your country.
Why are commercial documents more expensive?
The MOFAIC government fee for commercial documents is much higher than for personal ones, and the process is more involved. We'll confirm the exact figure per document.
How fast can it be done?
MOFAIC attestation is often same-day to three days once we have the original. Home-country and embassy stages add time that varies by country.
