UAE Embassy Attestation & MOFA Attestation

UAE embassy attestation makes your degree, marriage certificate, birth certificate or company document valid in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates. Documents are first attested in India by the state and the Ministry of External Affairs. The UAE step is now done through the UAE's digital attestation service, which covers the UAE mission and UAE MOFA in one application. We handle every stage, from HRD or SDM to the final UAE MOFA attestation.

How UAE attestation works today

For the UAE, every Indian document needs pre-authentication in India first: state attestation (HRD for degrees, SDM or Home Department for personal documents, Chamber of Commerce for company papers) and then MEA attestation. The UAE is not an apostille country, so an MEA apostille is not accepted.

The UAE step has moved online. Eligible India-issued documents now use the UAE's digital attestation service, which combines the UAE Embassy attestation and UAE MOFA attestation in a single application. Originals are still collected through an approved service provider. Commercial invoices and certificates of origin follow a separate e-document route.
