How to Attest Documents from MOFA

MOFA attestation is the last required step to make sure your paperwork is officially recognized in the UAE. Flat out, without it, your degree, work contract, marriage certificate, or any other important file isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on when you’re dealing with UAE courts, banks, free zones, or any government office. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation (MOFAIC) is the body that gives the final “thumbs up.” Here is a simple four-step guide:

Step 1: Prepare Your Document

✔ Make sure your paperwork is finished, with no blanks or wrong info.

✔ If the authorities in the UAE require it, translate the document into Arabic.

Step 2: Attestation in Country of Origin (if foreign document)

• Notary or Chamber of Commerce – Confirm details.

• Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Get their verification in your home country.

• UAE Embassy or Consulate abroad – Secure the final attestation.

• (Skip this step if the document was issued inside the UAE.)
