What Is Commercial Document Attestation Dubai?

Commercial attestation is the process of verifying the authenticity of business-related documents so they are legally accepted by UAE authorities, banks, customs, or trade partners.

Commercial invoices
Memorandum of Association (MOA)
Power of attorney (POA)
Board resolutions
Partnership deeds
Contracts & agreements
Import/export licenses
Company registration certificates

How to Attest a Commercial Invoice in the UAE

To use a commercial invoice for customs clearance, bank processing, or government approvals in the UAE, follow these steps:

Step 1: Chamber of Commerce Attestation

If the invoice originates outside the UAE, it must be attested by the Chamber of Commerce in the country of origin.

Step 2: Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Issuing Country

The document must be legalized by the home country’s foreign affairs department.

Step 3: UAE Embassy Attestation Abroad

Submit it to the UAE Embassy in the country where the document was issued.

Step 4: MOFA Attestation in Dubai/UAE

Once in the UAE, the document must be stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs UAE (MOFAIC) to be officially accepted.
