Chinese Document Attestation for UAE and Other Countries

If you're planning to move, study, work, or do business in the UAE or any Gulf country and your documents were issued in China, attestation is mandatory. This process ensures your Chinese-issued documents are legally accepted by UAE authorities, including immigration, MOFA, and other government entities.

Whether it's for a work visa, residency, company registration, or family visa, attested documents are essential.

 How Does Chinese Document Attestation Work?

Chinese documents must go through multiple layers of verification before they are accepted in the UAE. Here's a breakdown of the full process:

1. Notarization & Certification (in China)

All personal, educational, or commercial Chinese documents (like degrees, birth certificates, or corporate documents) must first be notarized by a licensed notary or local certification office in China.

2. Chinese Translation to English or Arabic

If the document is in Mandarin, it needs to be legally translated into English or Arabic by a certified translator.

3. Chinese Legal Translation in UAE

For submission to UAE authorities, the translated version must be converted into Arabic with a certified legal translation approved by the Ministry of Justice UAE.

4. Ministry of Foreign Affairs (China)

Once notarized and translated, the document is submitted to China's MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) for authentication.

5. UAE Embassy in China (Beijing or Shanghai)

The UAE Embassy in China will verify and stamp the documents, confirming they're ready for use in the UAE.

6. MOFA Attestation in the UAE

Once the document arrives in the UAE, it must be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA UAE) for it to be officially recognized.

Which Chinese Documents Require Attestation for the UAE?

Here are some of the most commonly attested Chinese documents:

• Educational certificates (degree, diploma, transcripts)

• Birth certificates

• Marriage certificates

• Police clearance certificates

• Business documents

• Commercial licenses

• Power of Attorney

• Medical certificates

• Death certificates

Why Is MOFA Attestation Required in the UAE?

MOFA attestation is the final validation step in the UAE. It proves that your foreign-issued (in this case, Chinese) document is:

✅ Authentic

✅ Verified by your home country

✅ Ready to be accepted by any UAE government department or authority

No document is considered legally valid in the UAE unless it has a final MOFA stamp.

Is Apostille Attestation Accepted in UAE?

No, the UAE is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, apostille alone is not valid for document use in the UAE. You must complete embassy and MOFA attestation for acceptance in the UAE.

Can Chinese Documents Be Used in Other GCC Countries?

Yes — if you follow the correct legalization process, your Chinese documents can also be used in:

• Saudi Arabia

• Oman

• Qatar

• Kuwait

• Bahrain

However, each country requires additional embassy-level attestation based on its local rules.
