Russian Embassy and Consulate Attestation in Abu Dhabi & Dubai

If you have Russian-issued documents that need to be recognized by UAE authorities for work, study, residency, or business, they must first be attested by the Russian Embassy or Consulate in the UAE. Whether you're in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, this guide will help you understand how to get your Russian documents attested correctly and efficiently.

Why Do You Need Russian Embassy or Consulate Attestation in the UAE?

Russian documents—such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, POAs, and commercial papers—are not automatically recognized in the UAE. To use them legally, they must be:

1. Notarized and legalized in Russia

2. Attested by the Russian Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the Russian Consulate in Dubai

3. Finalized by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)

This multi-step process validates the origin and authenticity of your documents for UAE government, employers, immigration, courts, and banks.

Documents That Require Russian Embassy Attestation

• Birth and marriage certificates

• Divorce decrees

• Educational certificates and transcripts

• Power of Attorney (POA)

• Police clearance certificates (from Russia)

• Notarized translations

• Commercial documents (licenses, contracts, etc.)
