How to Get Oman Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Attestation

If you need to use an official document in Oman or abroad, you may need authentication from the Sultanate of Oman Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Oman MOFA).

Oman has significantly changed its document-attestation process. MOFA attestation applications are no longer accepted directly at the Ministry's Consular Department or its attestation offices. The service is now provided through Oman Post, either electronically or through selected Oman Post branches.

How Does Oman MOFA Attestation Work?

The general process is:

Document preparation → Required prior authentication → Oman Post attestation application → Oman MOFA authentication

The exact steps before MOFA depend on the country where the document was issued, the document type, and where the document will be used.

Documents commonly requiring attestation include:

• Degree and educational certificates

• Birth certificates

• Marriage certificates

• Experience and employment certificates

• Police/non-conviction certificates

• Powers of attorney

• Commercial registrations

• Company documents

• Commercial contracts

• Certificates of origin

• Commercial invoices

Oman MOFA Electronic Attestation

Oman's Foreign Ministry operates its electronic attestation system in cooperation with Oman Post.

Individuals, residents, visitors, companies and authorized representatives can submit eligible documents through the system.

Oman Post Electronic Attestation Service

A major advantage for UAE residents is that the UAE is included in Oman's electronic attestation service coverage. The service is also available across the other GCC countries and a growing list of countries worldwide.

Oman MOFA Attestation From UAE

If you are in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain or elsewhere in the UAE, you may not need to visit the Omani Embassy or Consulate simply to access the attestation service because Oman has extended its electronic attestation system to the UAE.

However, this does not mean every document can skip its required prior authentication.

For example, a degree issued in India, a UAE-issued marriage certificate and a commercial document issued in Dubai may each have different prerequisite authentication requirements.

Always check:

Country of issue + Document type + Existing authentication + Country where the document will be used

How Much Does Oman MOFA Attestation Cost?

Government fees vary by document category. According to the Oman Foreign Ministry's current fee schedule, a study certificate is OMR 10, a marriage contract is OMR 10, an experience certificate is OMR 10, commercial registration is OMR 30, and commercial contracts start at OMR 40 for an original. Commercial invoice fees vary according to invoice value.

For document assessment, provide:

This helps determine the correct process before the document is submitted.
