What is MoJ Attestation?

MoJ attestation refers to the authentication of documents by the UAE Ministry of Justice. It is a mandatory process for any legal or notarized documents created inside the UAE. This step confirms the legitimacy of the document and ensures it is accepted by courts, government departments, embassies, and private institutions.

• Power of Attorney (POA)

• Affidavits

• Business setup or investor-related documents

If your document is notarized by a UAE public notary, it must be attested by the Ministry of Justice before further legalization by MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) or submission to a foreign embassy.

• Are legally valid in the UAE

• Can be used in UAE courts and government offices

• Can be recognized internationally after further embassy or MOFA attestation

• Help avoid document rejection when applying for visas, licenses, or business permissions

  
  

How Long Does MoJ Attestation Take?
