Expats looking for a residential visa in the UAE must submit attested documents to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
The purpose of getting documents attested is to determine their validity and authenticity. Attestation is carried out by various government agencies, including Customer Happiness Centers in the UAE and relevant UAE government entities abroad.
Once the documentation is attested, you must submit it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will use them to grant a residential visa.
Documents that you must attest:
- Powers of Attorney
- Medical certificates
- Marriage/divorce certifications
- Educational certificates
- Commercial contracts/agreements
It can be unclear for people who aren’t familiar with the attestation process. A single misstep can force you to start from the beginning. You will be required to fill out multiple applications, register on specialized websites, and submit documents and photos repeatedly.

If your certificate needs to be translated, we’ll send it to trusted agencies in the issuing country and have it translated for you. The cost of this additional step depends on the agency’s service fee.

How Long Does It Take For Documents To Be Attested In UAE?
The duration of document attestation in the UAE is entirely dependent on how long it takes for the issuing country to complete the local attestation and get back to us. Once we send your documents to the issuing country, they will be passed on to various entities (from the notary to the embassy).
Only once the embassy completes the process can we take your documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE.
If you require the documents urgently, we’ll fast-track the process for you with an additional charge.
