How to get MOFA attestation done in the UAE?

MOFA attestation done

The MOFA attestation (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation – MOFAIC) is the final and most important step in legalizing any document for official use inside or outside the UAE. This process verifies that the relevant authorities have already authenticated your document and it is now legally valid for the UAE government, embassy, or private use.

Step-by-Step Process for MOFA Attestation in the UAE

1️⃣ For Foreign-Issued Documents

1. Notarization – Get your document notarized in your home country.

2. Home-Country Attestation – The document must be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (or equivalent) in your country.

3. UAE Embassy Legalization – Have the UAE Embassy or Consulate in your country legalize the document.

4. MOFA Attestation in the UAE – Once the document reaches the UAE, submit it to the MOFAIC for final stamping or digital attestation.

2️⃣ For UAE-Issued Documents

1. Local Authority Attestation – Depending on the document type, get the stamp from the relevant UAE authority (e.g., MOE for educational certificates, MOJ for legal documents, DHA/DOH for medical reports).

2. Certified Translation (if needed) – If your document is not in Arabic or English, it must be translated by a MOJ-approved translator.

3. MOFA Final Attestation – Submit the original or digital copy to MOFAIC through a service center or approved agent for final legalization.
