If you're planning to use your foreign-issued documents in the UAE — whether for work, study, family sponsorship, court cases, or business setup — you’ll likely need embassy attestation as part of the legalization process.
Embassy attestation is an official stamp or seal from your home country’s embassy or consulate in the UAE, verifying the authenticity of your documents. It’s a mandatory step before MOFA attestation in most cases.

When Do You Need Embassy Attestation?
Embassy attestation is required when you're submitting documents such as:
Educational Certificates
Marriage & Birth Certificates
Power of Attorney (POA)
Commercial Agreements
Medical or Police Clearance Certificates
Documents must be attested by your home country’s embassy in the UAE after legalization in your home country and before submission to MOFA.
Step-by-Step: How to Get Embassy Attestation in the UAE
Step 1: Pre-attestation in Your Home Country
Before visiting your embassy in the UAE, your document should be:
Notarized (if applicable)
Attested by your country's Ministry of External/Foreign Affairs
Stamped by the UAE Embassy/Consulate in your home country
If this is already completed, your document is ready for submission to your embassy in the UAE.
Step 2: Visit Your Embassy or Consulate in the UAE
Locate your embassy or consulate (Dubai or Abu Dhabi) and visit with:
Original document
Supporting documents (passport, visa copy, etc.)
Payment (fees vary by embassy)
Appointment (some embassies require prior booking)
Step 3: Pay the Embassy Attestation Fee
Each embassy charges its own fee depending on the document type. For example:
Marriage/Birth Certificate: AED 60–550+
Educational Certificates: AED 100–950+
POA or Commercial Docs: AED 150–2000+
Step 4: Receive Embassy Stamp
Once processed (same day or within 1–3 working days), your document will be returned with the official embassy attestation stamp or seal.
Step 5: Submit for MOFA Attestation
After embassy attestation, your document must go through MOFA attestation for final legalization and UAE-wide acceptance.
