Frequently asked questions

What is MOFA attestation and when is it needed?

MOFA attestation is the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization of a document after embassy/legalization has been completed (where required). It is often the final step for documents to be accepted by foreign authorities or employers.

Do you handle embassy attestation for any country?

We assist with embassy legalization for most countries represented in the UAE. Country rules differ; we review each case and confirm whether embassy legalization is required and the exact steps.

Can you provide certified translation and notarization?

Yes. We arrange certified translation and coordinate notarization in Dubai, Ajman and other Emirates as part of a full-service package.

Are corporate documents handled differently?

Corporate documents often require company-level notarization, chambers of commerce certification, and may need additional steps before embassy and MOFA attestation. We guide you through the full compliance path.

How do I submit documents and what about pickup/delivery?

We accept in-person submissions at our office or arranged collection where available. We offer secure delivery options for returning attested documents; ask about courier services in your area.
