FAQs

What is birth certificate attestation and why is it needed?

Attestation/legalization confirms a birth certificate is authentic and accepted by UAE authorities for official processes such as visa applications, residency permits and passport issuance.

What's the difference between apostille, embassy legalization and MOFA stamping?

Apostille is for documents from apostille-member countries.

Embassy legalization (consular attestation) is required for countries not in the apostille system.

UAE MOFA stamping is the final step to recognize the legalized document for use in the UAE.

Can AL SAHRAA handle documents issued in any country?

Yes — we manage country-specific steps (apostille or embassy attestation) and coordinate translations and MOFA stamping to meet UAE requirements.
