The primary goal of certificate attestation is to confirm the legitimacy of your documents, giving you the confidence you require for legal and official processes overseas. This critical service ensures that your documents are legitimate and supplied by reputable authorities. It verifies the legitimacy of documents for usage in foreign countries. It guarantees compliance with international legal criteria. It allows the seamless completion of legal, educational, and employment procedures abroad.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get your UAE-issued documents attested by the embassy of the country where they will be used:
1. Get the Document Attested by the UAE
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Before having your document attested by the embassy or consulate of the destination country, it must first be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) in the UAE. This is a mandatory step for all UAE-issued documents, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, commercial documents, academic certificates, and others. Steps for MOFAIC Attestation: Visit a MOFAIC office (available in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah). Submit the original document for attestation and pay the required fee. Certain documents, such as academic certificates, may require additional attestation from relevant authorities (e.g., the Ministry of Education) before the MOFAIC attestation. Alternatively, you can use a third-party service to handle this process, which can save you time and effort.
2. Get the Document Attested by the Embassy or Consulate of the Destination Country
Once the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has attested your document, the next step is to get it attested by the embassy or consulate of the country where the document will be used. For example, if the document is to be used in India, you would need to get it attested by the Indian Embassy or Consulate in the UAE. Steps for Embassy/Consulate Attestation: Contact the embassy or consulate of the destination country (e.g., India, the Philippines, the United States) located in the UAE. Provide the attested document from MOFAIC along with: A copy of your passport (or any other required identification). Any additional documents the embassy may request (such as proof of visa or residency status in the destination country). Payment for attestation fees (fees vary depending on the embassy/consulate). The embassy or consulate will verify the MOFAIC attestation, authenticating the document for use abroad.
3. Use the Document in the Foreign Country
After the embassy or consulate has attested your document, it is ready to be used in the foreign country. This can include using it for visa applications, legal purposes, employment, or education. Keep in mind that some countries may require further attestation steps, depending on the document and its intended use.
