Understanding Document Attestation in Dubai, UAE

In the UAE’s context, attestation refers to the legal confirmation that any seal and signature present on a document are 100% authentic. As the United Arab Emirates demands high due diligence levels for AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and corporate governance, generic notarization from any individual’s respective nation is rarely sufficient. 

Documents that are issued outside of the United Arab Emirates must go through a [articular chain of verification – right from the origin nation to the UAE’s MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) – in order to get accepted by governing bodies such as the DED (Department of Economic Development) or the MoHRE (Ministry of Human Resources).

Xpert Advisory’s Attestation Protocol: A Multi-Layered Process

                          The procedure of legalization varies as per the country issuing it. However, for the majority of jurisdictions, Xpert Advisory handles the four-stage protocol mentioned below:

Verification at Source

The document gets notarized by a relevant Notary Public or authority in the individual’s country of origin. 

Home Country Legalization

Post the verification at source, the document gets attested by the MoFA or the equivalent state department within the issuing country. 

UAE Embassy Attestation

Then, the document is submitted and presented to the Embassy of the UAE or Consulate in the origin country for the final stamp prior to leaving the source country. 

MoFA Attestation (United Arab Emirates)

Once the document arrives in the United Arab Emirates, the document gets submitted to the MoFA to obtain the final approval seal. This renders the document legally valid for usage within the UAE. 

Note: If the document in question is not in English/Arabic, Legal Translation by a MOJ (Ministry of Justice) certified translator is needed post attestation.
