UAE MOFA Attestation Explained

MOFA attestation refers to the verification step carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, often required for documents being used within the UAE.

Where MOFA fits in

For many document types, MOFA attestation is one of the final stages after the document has been authenticated in its country of origin and legalised by the UAE embassy or consulate there.

Common document types

Educational certificates, marriage and birth certificates, powers of attorney, and commercial documents frequently require MOFA attestation before they can be used for official purposes in the UAE.
