If you are planning to live, work, study, start a business, or expand a company in the UAE, and you hold documents issued by China, you must go through a formal attestation process. Without attestation, your Chinese documents won't be accepted by UAE authorities such as MOFA, immigration, free zones, universities, or courts.
This guide explains how to get certificates and business documents attested from China for use in the UAE — fast and correctly!
Why is Attestation Required for Chinese Documents in the UAE?

Step-by-Step: How to Attest Chinese Documents for UAE
1. Notarization in China
First, your document must be notarized by an authorized Notary Public Office (公证处) in China.
2. Authentication by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA China)
After notarization, the document must be authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.
3. UAE Embassy Attestation in China
The next step is to legalize the document at the UAE Embassy or the UAE Consulate in China.

Once your document reaches the UAE, it must undergo final attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFA UAE).
