Questions about our services.

Attestation confirms that a document is genuine so it can be used officially in the UAE. For documents issued abroad, this usually means certification in the issuing country, then the UAE embassy or consulate there, then the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). Most UAE authorities will not accept foreign certificates or company documents without it.

It depends on where the document was issued. MOFA attestation of UAE-issued documents is often completed within a few working days. Documents issued abroad also need steps in the issuing country and at the UAE embassy there, which can take several weeks depending on the country. All timings are estimates; your advisor confirms an estimated timeline after reviewing your documents.

In most cases, no. Much of the work can be handled remotely. Your advisor will tell you if an original document or an in-person step, such as biometrics or a medical test, is needed.

UAE courts and many government entities require legal translations by a translator licensed by the UAE Ministry of Justice. Requirements differ between authorities, so we confirm what the receiving entity needs before we start.
