Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the key steps for MOFA Attestation if my document is foreign-issued?
Document clearing for foreign papers is a chain of steps that must be completed in order:
Home Country Notarization: Certification by a notary public or equivalent authority in the issuing country.
Home Country Ministry: Attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (or equivalent) in the issuing country.UAE Embassy/Consulate: Legalization by the UAE Embassy or Consulate in the issuing country.
