Before applying for sick leave certificate attestation in the UAE, check how the certificate was issued. A sick leave certificate issued through the MOHAP sick leave system is already certified and does not require another MOHAP sick leave attestation. Likewise, a sick leave or medical report already attested by an authorised UAE health authority generally does not require Re-attestation. MOHAP sick leave and medical report attestation is currently free.
The requirement changes for a foreign sick leave certificate or medical certificate issued outside the UAE. GloboPrime Attestation checks the document first and identifies the correct sick leave attestation process, including medical certificate attestation UAE and medical report attestation requirements, before the application begins.
Sick leave certificate attestation in the UAE is the formal attestation of a sick leave certificate or medical report for employment, HR, government or other official use. It certifies the medical leave document through the applicable UAE health authority so it can be submitted where an attested sick leave certificate or medical report is required.
The process applies to sick leave certificates and medical reports that require health authority attestation before they are accepted for official purposes in the UAE. This includes eligible UAE-issued medical leave documents and foreign-issued sick leave certificates or medical reports requiring attestation for use in the UAE.
You need sick leave attestation in the UAE when an employer, HR department, government entity or other authorised organisation requires an officially attested medical leave certificate or medical report.
The sick leave certificate attestation process in the UAE starts with the hospital or clinic that issued the medical leave. The healthcare facility determines which UAE health authority process applies to the certificate.
For MOHAP sick leave of 5 days or less, the current required-document list contains only the sick leave certificate. Passport copies, UAE visa copies and authorisation letters are not listed as standard documents for this service.
If a UAE employee becomes sick while travelling abroad and needs to extend approved leave, justify the additional medical absence, or submit medical expenses for reimbursement, the employer, HR department or insurer can require the overseas sick leave certificate or medical report to be attested for use in the UAE.
For example, if an employee becomes ill while on leave in India, the certificate should be obtained from the treating hospital or clinic and complete the required authentication in India. It then proceeds through the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), UAE Embassy in India and UAE MOFA attestation before being submitted for the applicable UAE medical attestation where required. UAE MOFA requires documents issued abroad to be attested by the foreign ministry of the issuing country and the UAE Embassy or Consulate before final UAE attestation.
For India-issued documents, the current UAE Embassy New Delhi digital service has simplified the final stages: after MEA attestation, one application can complete both UAE Embassy attestation and UAE MOFA attestation.
GloboPrime handles sick leave certificate attestation and medical certificate attestation in UAE for two main requirements: foreign-issued medical documents that need to be used in the UAE, and UAE-issued sick leave certificates or medical reports that need to be used abroad. The attestation process is arranged according to the country of issue, destination country and document type.
If an employee becomes sick while travelling or on leave outside the UAE and needs to extend the leave, justify the medical absence, or submit medical expenses to an employer or insurer, the overseas sick leave certificate or medical report must be properly attested when an authenticated document is required in the UAE.
GloboPrime coordinates the required attestation in the country of issue, including the relevant local authentication, foreign Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation, UAE Embassy or Consulate attestation and UAE MOFA attestation, followed by the applicable UAE medical attestation requirement where necessary.
For a sick leave certificate or medical report issued in the UAE that needs to be submitted in another country, GloboPrime handles the required UAE attestation and overseas legalisation process.
