Certificate Attestation & UAE MOFAIC Official Process Framework
Certificate attestation is the mandatory legal process established by international treaties and bilateral agreements between sovereign nations to verify the authenticity of public documents for cross-border use. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) defines attestation as “a procedure to confirm the validity of the seal and signature on documents issued in the UAE or abroad” through their official digital channels and diplomatic missions worldwide.
UAE MOFAIC Official Process Framework
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) charges standardized fees for documents attested within the UAE: approximately AED 153 for personal and educational documents, and approximately AED 2,048 for commercial documents. The processing timeline for documents already authenticated by home country authorities and the relevant UAE diplomatic mission is typically 1–3 business days.
Legal Authority
The Consular Services Department in the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) provides Attestation Service for all types of documents as a measure to ratify the validity of stamp and signature on documents issued within or out of the UAE.

Certificate Attestation Services in Dubai – Complete Process & Requirements
Why is Attestation Essential?
- • Employment: Employers require attested educational and professional certificates to validate qualifications

- • Education: Universities and educational institutions demand attested academic records for admissions

Step-by-Step Process for Certificate Attestation in Dubai
1. Notarization in the Document’s Country of Origin
- • Your document (e.g., birth certificate, educational certificate, or salary certificate) must first be notarized or certified by the relevant local authority such as the Ministry of External Affairs in India, the PSA in the Philippines, or the Department of Education in the Philippines, or an issuing registry in Europe
- • In some countries, a preliminary “Home Department” or “State Ministry” stamp is required before proceeding to the central Ministry
2. Embassy/Consulate Legalization
- • After home‐country notarization, present the certificate at the nearest UAE Embassy or Consulate (e.g., UAE Embassy in New Delhi, UAE Embassy in Manila, UAE Consulate in London) for legalization
- • The Embassy or Consulate confirms the authenticity of the home‐country stamp and applies its own official seal—often referred to as “UAE Embassy attestation”
3. MOFA Attestation in the UAE
- • Once the Embassy/Consulate stamp is on your certificate, you or your agent must submit it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Abu Dhabi (or a MOFA‐approved typing center) for final legalization
- • MOFA will inspect the Embassy stamp, verify any supporting paperwork, and attach the MOFA Attestation stamp—elevating the certificate to fully recognized status across all UAE emirates
Local Use Across Dubai and Other Emirates
Once MOFA attestation is complete, your certificate is considered fully valid in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain.

Legal Framework and International Treaties
Hague Convention: While the UAE is not a signatory to the 1961 Hague Convention, documents from member countries (such as the United States, which joined October 15, 1981, and Canada, which joined January 11, 2024) that bear an Apostille still require subsequent legalization by the relevant UAE Embassy/Consulate and MOFAIC in the UAE.
Bilateral Agreements: For non-Hague countries, UAE maintains bilateral authentication agreements ensuring document recognition through embassy legalization procedures.
Government Verification Systems: Modern apostille systems include electronic verification capabilities, with some countries implementing certificate number verification systems and digital authentication.
UAE Digital Attestation & Verification
The UAE has significantly advanced its digital attestation and verification processes:
- • MoFAIC Digital Attestation System: MOFAIC has been progressively rolling out digital attestation. As of February 24, 2025 (and earlier for some commercial documents), digitally attested PDF documents are provided. Verification is available online via verify.mofaic.gov.ae
- • UAE Pass: Serves as a national digital identity for secure logins and digital signatures for document validation
