Attestation & Legalization Services (UAE & Overseas Use)

We prepare, translate, notarize (if needed), and coordinate Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and Embassy/Consulate attestations—so your documents are accepted the first time, in the UAE or abroad.

What Attestation Means (and Why It Matters)

Attestation/legalization is the official validation chain that confirms a document’s authenticity for use by a government, court, university, or employer. Depending on where you will use the document, authorities may require:

  • Notarization (UAE Notary Public)

  • MOFA attestation (UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs)

  • Embassy/Consulate legalization of the destination country

  • Translation (Arabic ↔ English or other languages) by a sworn/legal translator

We handle the entire sequence and tell you exactly which steps your case requires.

Documents We Attest

  • Personal: Degrees, transcripts, school certificates, marriage/divorce/birth certificates, powers of attorney, police clearance, medical reports.

  • Corporate: Memorandum of Association (MOA) & amendments, Board resolutions, commercial registrations, chamber certificates, invoices, contracts, agency agreements, certificates of good standing/incumbency.

  • Other: Declarations, affidavits, certified true copies.
