MOJ License #701 DED Licensed Business 60-Minute Digital Draft Accepted by Courts and Government

We handle the complete attestation chain from start to finish. Whether you need MOFA attestation, embassy legalization, or apostille services, we coordinate every step so you do not have to visit multiple offices.

Standard Attestation Chain

The typical attestation process for UAE use follows this path: notarization in the issuing country, authentication by the Foreign Ministry, UAE Embassy attestation, and finally MOFA stamp in the UAE. Countries in the Hague Convention (India, UK, US, Philippines) use an apostille instead of the full embassy route. Canada also follows the apostille path through Global Affairs Canada.

Document Types We Attest

Each document type has specific requirements depending on the issuing country. We verify the correct chain before starting to prevent rejections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our translation services.

What is document attestation?
Document attestation verifies the authenticity of documents for use in another country. For UAE use, the chain typically includes notarization in the issuing country, Foreign Ministry authentication, UAE Embassy attestation, and MOFA stamp in the UAE.
How long does attestation take?
Timelines vary by country. India: 2-3 weeks. UK: 1-2 weeks. US: 2-3 weeks. Philippines: 2-4 weeks. We track your documents at every step and provide updates via WhatsApp.
Do I need attestation before or after translation?
Generally, attestation comes before translation. The attested document is then translated with MOJ certification. However, some processes require translation first. We advise on the correct sequence for your specific case.
Which countries use apostille instead of embassy attestation?
Countries that joined the Hague Apostille Convention use a simpler apostille stamp instead of the full embassy chain. India, UK, US, Canada, Philippines, and Bangladesh accept apostilles. Pakistan and other non-Hague countries require the full embassy attestation route.
What documents need attestation for UAE use?
Educational certificates (degrees, transcripts), personal documents (birth, marriage, police clearance), and commercial documents (trade licenses, power of attorney) typically need attestation when issued outside the UAE.
Is MOFA attestation the same as embassy attestation?
No. MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) attestation is the final UAE step. Embassy attestation happens at the UAE Embassy in the issuing country. The full chain is: country authentication, UAE Embassy stamp, then MOFA stamp in the UAE.
Can you handle attestation for documents from any country?
We handle attestation for the most common origin countries in the UAE: India, Pakistan, UK, US, Philippines, Bangladesh, Egypt, Jordan, and others. Each country has a specific chain we coordinate.
What if my document attestation is rejected?
We verify the attestation chain requirements before starting. If a step fails, we identify the issue and advise on correction. Common reasons include missing notarization or expired documents.
Do you provide MOFA fast-track service?
MOFA processing in the UAE typically takes 2-3 business days. We submit your documents promptly and track the status. There is no official fast-track option through MOFA.
How much does attestation cost?
Costs depend on the country and document type. Government fees (MOFA, embassy) are separate from our coordination fee. WhatsApp us your document for a complete breakdown of all fees involved.
