Understanding MOFA Attestation
What is MOFA Attestation?
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) acts as the main contact point between UAE leadership and its citizens with rest of world. It also supervises worldwide UAE embassies, manages bilateral agreements, as well as verifying and authenticating non-UAE issued documents for international use or those issued outside this country.
Why do we need MOFA attestation?
Educational certificates like marriage certificates commercial papers or other personal records must be validated through MOFA attestation. This is to make sure that these documents become valid legally binding instruments within United Arab Emirates territory.
Process of MOFA Attestation in UAE
Procedure for MOFA Attestation:
Notarization of document:
Verify that your papers have been notarized.
Submission to MOFA:
Hand over copies endorsed by notary publics offices to them for verification purposes only since they won’t retain any copies after these steps are completed successfully; therefore keep originals safe somewhere else!
Verification & Attestation: Authority checks their authenticity then stamps where necessary indicating such verification was done so people can rely upon those looking at them later without doubt about what happened during this stage but ensure everybody understands nothing more needs doing at all now except providing additional authentication where required by embassy/consulate concerned within UAE itself depending on kind/type/nature etc., however there may be some cases when further endorsement might still be needed even if above mentioned criteria have been fulfilled.
Additional Attestation: Some documents may need additional attestation from relevant embassy or consulate in UAE.
MOFA Attested Documents Types
The following is a list of some documents that can be attested by MOFA:
Educational Certificates

Any other personal/professional document which falls under the category of those referred to above.
Should UAE not have an embassy situated within country where such papers were issued then they must go through necessary approval processes at said nation's own embassy within this Arab State; but if no embassies exist then foreign affairs ministry should authenticate them for accreditation here.
