 What is Consulate Attestation?

Consulate attestation is the process by which the embassy or consulate of your home country in Dubai verifies and stamps your documents to confirm authenticity. After this step, the documents are submitted to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFAIC) for legalization.

Step-by-Step Process for Consulate Attestation in Dubai

1. Originating Country Attestation

• Notarization/Issuing Authority: The document must first be attested by the relevant authority in the issuing country (e.g., Board of Education for degrees, Registrar for marriage/birth certificates).

• Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Home Country): The document is then legalized by your home country’s Foreign Affairs Ministry.

• UAE Embassy in Home Country: Finally, the UAE Embassy or Consulate in that country attests the document.

2. UAE Attestation
