Attestation of documents is also referred to as document legalization in some countries. To apply for an employment or educational visa in the UAE, all foreign nationals must submit legalized documents to prove their authenticity.
The legalization process involves getting documents signed and stamped by government entities that guarantee the legitimacy of these documents.
Foreign nationals within the UAE can get their certificates legalized through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
Foreign certificates that need to be legalized include:
- Commercial contracts/agreements
- Educational certificates
- Marriage/divorce certifications
- Medical certificates
- Powers of Attorney

How Long Does Document Legalization Take?
The duration of the legalization process depends on how long the issuing country takes to legalize the documents; the sooner the documents are legalized by the issuing country, the faster they can be attested in the UAE.
Some countries take longer than others to legalize documents. We have local partners in countries that can help us keep track of submitted documents.
The process can be long and frustrating, but we’ll make sure to follow up regularly and ensure it goes by as smoothly as possible.
