Attestation Services

Attestation is the least glamorous step in any UAE journey — and the one most likely to derail everything else. A visa application, a school enrolment, a marriage registration, a corporate contract: all of them can stall for weeks because one stamp in the chain is missing.

The UAE is not part of the Apostille Convention, so foreign documents need the full legalisation chain: notarisation in the issuing country, authentication by that country’s foreign ministry, legalisation by the UAE Embassy there, and finally attestation by MOFAIC (the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs) here. Skip a link and the chain is worthless.

We attest every document family: educational certificates (degrees, diplomas, transcripts — essential for employment visas and professional licenses), personal documents (marriage, birth, police clearance — the backbone of family sponsorship), and commercial papers (powers of attorney, board resolutions, certificates of incorporation, invoices).

Order matters as much as completeness. Translating before attesting when the authority wants the reverse, or notarising with an expired notary commission, resets the entire process. Our intake review catches these issues on day one — before your documents start travelling.

Where legal translation into Arabic is required, our sworn translators handle it in-house, and we attest the translation itself when the receiving authority demands it. One roof, no hand-offs, no lost files.

Honest timelines: documents already in the UAE with a complete prior chain clear MOFAIC in 2–4 working days. Full chains starting abroad typically run two to six weeks depending on the country — and we coordinate with partners in major issuing countries so you do not need to fly anywhere or queue anywhere.

Collection and delivery are included: we pick up your originals, track them through every authority with real receipts, and return them attested to your door. You always know exactly where your documents are.

Attestation rarely travels alone — it feeds visa applications, license approvals, and court matters we often handle in parallel. Bundling saves you both time and money, and keeps one accountable team on the whole journey.
