The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attestation is the final step in the certificate attestation process, essential for anyone looking to travel abroad for studies, employment, or other purposes. Each country has its own set of rules and procedures regarding MOFA document attestation, making it crucial to understand the steps involved.

Understanding MOFA Attestation

The MOFA plays a significant role in international relations and foreign policy. When an individual applies for a visa to visit another country, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for verifying whether the applicant meets all eligibility criteria. In the UAE, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs document attestation ensures that the documents submitted are authentic and valid.

Seeking the assistance of an attestation agency

We understand that the complete procedure of getting your documents attested needs to be simplified and taxing. Thus, getting the assistance of an attestation agency makes more sense. However, you should remember that you should not hire just any attestation agency or service provider. The foremost thing to check is whether the attestation company is ISO certified and approved by the concerned authorities.

Many attestation companies claim to be the best at attracting customers. But, unless you get the assurance that the company is certified and recognized, you should not risk providing your valuable documents for attestation, no matter how urgent it is. Once you lose your documents due to the selection of a non-reliable attestation company, then the urgency won’t matter at all.

So, whenever you wish to travel abroad for higher studies, employment, or other purposes, and to fulfill the MOFA documents attestation requirements, hire a certified attestation service provider.

MOFA Document Attestation: Step-by-Step Requirements

To complete the MOFA documents attestation requirements, follow these essential steps:

1.HRD/Notary/Chamber of Commerce Attestation

Based on the type of documents, the initial process of attestation varies.

For educational documents, you need to submit your documents to the HRD of the concerned state.

For personal documents, you will need a notary attestation.

In case you are going to another country to set up a business, you will need to submit the documents to the Chamber of Commerce for attestation.

2. MEA Attestation

The next step involves submitting your documents for attestation to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). There are two processes for MEA attestation:

Apostille attestation is required for countries that are members of the Hague Convention. If you are traveling to a country that is a Hague member, you will need only one attestation to prove the authenticity of your documents.

For rest, you will require normal attestation.

3.Embassy Attestation

Once the steps of HRD attestation and MEA attestation are completed, the documents should be submitted to the embassy of the migrating country in your own home country for further verification.

For some countries, this step is not necessary. After MEA attestation, you are allowed to apply directly for MOFA attestation.

Once you complete all these steps, then you can apply for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation. Only after completing this step, the applicant is allowed for an admission grant, work permit, or join a company in another country.

Conclusion

The process of MOFA document attestation may appear complex, but understanding each step can help streamline your experience. By choosing a reliable attestation agency and following the necessary procedures, you can ensure that your documents are authentic and ready for your international journey. Always remember that meeting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs document attestation requirements is essential for achieving your goals abroad. Prioritize working with a certified agency to avoid complications and ensure a smooth attestation process.

How much time does the entire process of MOFA attestation take?
In general, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can complete the attestation work in one to two working days. However, in case of emergency, MOFA attestation can also be done on the same day given that the UAE embassy has stamped your documents in your home country. MOFA attests the documents only when it verifies the bar code that is affixed on the UAE embassy stamp from the home of the applicant.
For the same-day attestation, the original document can be taken physically and submitted to the MOFA and the fee charge is paid either via the E Dirham card, credit card, or cash. After paying the charges, the token is issued. When your token number comes up, you take the certificate/s to the counter and this is stamped within a few minutes.
This means, MOFA attestation is a quick process and does not take much time.
A new introduction to the MOFA attestation is now in play. This means that if you have a single certificate to attest and your own personal certificate that needs the MOFA attestation, you can go directly to the MOFA office in Bur Dubai without uploading the certificate online.
But if you have more than 5 certificates for MOFA attestation in Dubai, it becomes mandatory for the certificates first to be uploaded on the MOFA site. The payment also has to be done online.
Once the above step is completed, you can remove a printout of the payment receipt and take this along with the certificates that require MOFA attestation.
Securing documents attestation from various authorities can be cumbersome. In the case of Indian certificates /documents, they are required to be submitted first to the Home Department, then to MEA, and then to the UAE embassy in the home country. Only then, MOFA attestation can be done. This means the overall procedure can be hectic. So, the assistance of an attestation service provider can be beneficial in making the process stress-free and hassle-free.
