MOFA Attestation – Complete Guide & Services

When you plan to work or settle in the UAE, your documents must go through a series of verifications in multiple departments from which they were issued. The final and most important step is MOFA Attestation – conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in India. Without MOFA attestation, even embassy-attested documents are not legally valid in the UAE.

We provide complete attestation services from Notary to MOFA, ensuring that your documents are legally valid and accepted by government departments, employers, and institutions in the UAE.

MOFA attestation was earlier the final authentication process carried out in the UAE, but from 9th September it is now done by the UAE Embassy in India. It confirms that documents issued in India are genuine and have successfully passed through all the required embassy and ministry checks.

This process is mandatory for:

• Employment visas
• Student visas and university admissions
• Family and residence visas
• Company formation and trade licenses
• Business contracts and other legal documents

MOFA attestation applies to three main categories of documents:

1. Educational Documents

• Degree Certificates
• Diplomas
• Mark Sheets
• Professional Certificates

2. Personal Documents

• Birth Certificates
• Marriage Certificates
• Divorce Certificates
• Police Clearance Certificates (PCC)

3. Commercial Documents

• Company Incorporation Papers
• Power of Attorney
• Trade Agreements
• Invoices & Bills of Lading
• Articles of Association (AOA)
• Memorandum of Association (MOA)
• Board Resolutions

The MOFA attestation process is completed after embassy attestation. Here's the typical flow:

1. Notary & State Attestation – Document verified by state home or HRD department.
2. MEA Attestation – Authentication from the Ministry of External Affairs, India.
3. UAE Embassy/Consulate Attestation – Embassy stamping from UAE Embassy in India.
4. MOFA Attestation in UAE – Final legalization done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in India.

• Ensures documents are legally valid in the UAE.
• Required by UAE employers before issuing a work visa.
• Mandatory for child admissions in UAE School.
• Needed for residence visa & family sponsorship.
• Essential for business setup and corporate use.

The time required for MOFA attestation depends on the type of document and the processing queue at the embassy. On average:
