When you need to use foreign documents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), it's important to know that the UAE doesn't follow the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. This means the usual "apostille" process doesn't apply here. Instead, the UAE has its own method, “Apostille Attestation,” to make sure your documents are accepted.

1. Verification by the issuing authority: Start by having the organization that issued your document, such as a degree certificate, verify it in its country of origin.
2. Authentication by the Foreign Ministry: The foreign ministry in the country from which the document originated should then authenticate it.
3. UAE Embassy Attestation: Then, take the document to the UAE Embassy or Consulate in the country of issue for their stamp of approval.
4. Final Attestation by MoFAIC in the UAE: Lastly, when you’re in the UAE, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) needs to give the final okay.
