If you’re planning to live, work, or do business in the UAE, chances are you’ve come across the term “MOFA Attestation.” But what exactly is it, and why does it matter?
MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) attestation is a mandatory process that certifies the authenticity of your foreign documents for use in the UAE. Whether it’s an educational certificate, marriage license, or power of attorney, attestation ensures that your document is legally accepted in UAE government institutions.
MOFA attestation is typically required for:
Employment visa applications
Family or dependent visa sponsorship
Business setup and registration
Education admission
Legal proceedings
The steps usually include:
Notary attestation in your home country
Attestation from the Ministry of External Affairs (in your country)
UAE Embassy attestation
MOFA attestation in the UAE
This sequence may vary depending on the document type and origin.
Document rejection due to improper sequencing
Long delays when using unreliable agents
Miscommunication about required documents
Having expert support eliminates these hassles.
We ensure your documents are properly attested, translated if needed, and submitted on time—ensuring a hassle-free process that saves you time and stress.
