What Is Document Attestation in the UAE?
Document attestation is the formal chain of authentication through which sovereign government authorities certify that a foreign document is genuine, legally executed, and valid for official purposes in the United Arab Emirates.
Because the UAE does not recognize apostilles under the Hague Convention, all documents originating from India must complete the consular legalisation route through the UAE Embassy or Consulate.
This multi-step verification safeguards employers, government ministries, and private individuals against fraudulent credentials and unauthorized corporate filings.

The UAE Document Attestation Process

1. Notary & Document Authentication
Initial verification by an authorized Notary Public certifying legitimate seals and signatures.
2. State Department Clearance
Regional approval by State HRD (for degrees) or State Home Department / GAD / SDM (for personal and commercial documents).
3. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)
Central Government legalisation by the MEA, Government of India, placing the official national seal.
4. UAE Embassy Legalisation
Consular attestation by the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in New Delhi or the UAE Consulate in Mumbai.
Following embassy attestation, our Dubai team can assist with subsequent Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA UAE) stamping.
