One of the most common questions people ask is: Do I need embassy attestation before MOFA in UAE?The short answer: Yes — if your document was issued outside the UAE.

Why Embassy Attestation is Needed

Before the UAE MOFAIC can legalize a foreign-issued document, it must be:

Notarized in the issuing country.
Attested by the home country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Legalized by the UAE Embassy or Consulate in that country.

Only then will the UAE MOFA accept it for final attestation.

When Embassy Attestation is NOT Required

If your document was issued in the UAE, you can often go directly to MOFAIC after completing any required local authority attestations (such as MOE or MOJ).

Common Document Types Requiring Embassy + MOFA

Birth, marriage, death certificates from abroad.
Educational degrees issued outside UAE.
Commercial contracts or trade licenses from foreign companies.
