Where to Attest Documents: UAE Ministry of

Foreign Affairs
For expats in Dubai and the UAE, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) is the o ce that
stamps your country documents so that it would be accepted by the UAE government for
processing of papers. Whether you are applying for a family visa, husband/spousal visa,
employment visa, etc. and you need to submit paperwork to present to the governing body (your
employer or to the UAE government). But before these would be accepted, they would require
that you head to MOFA to have them attested.

To authenticate your papers, you can either hire a service or do it yourself by heading to the
MOFA o ce in Bur Dubai.

The process to UAE-attest your country documents is quick so long as the document you are
presenting is legitimate. Depending on the situation, your document may not be accepted right
away because it needs to be veri ed in your own country rst. The staff at the o ce will advise
you what to do.

When you have the MOFA seal, this means that your document is UAE-approved and you can

place. Whether it’s for your work, or applying for visa sponsorship.
