01 UNDERSTANDING UAE ATTESTATION

Documents intended for use in the UAE may be subject to a particular authentication and attestation process. The requirements depend on the type of document, where it was issued and the intended use.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes attestation as confirming the authenticity of signatures and seals on documents. Its India-related mission guidance describes a digital attestation route for documents issued in India, including prior authentication by India’s MEA.

QuickCertify helps customers understand and coordinate the applicable process.

WHO MAY NEED TO CHECK

Who might need UAE attestation?

Check the requirements if preparing documents for:

  • Employment or professional purposes in the UAE.
  • Educational or academic matters.
  • Family or personal formalities.
  • Commercial or corporate transactions.
  • Other procedures where a UAE authority or receiving organisation requests attested documents.
DOCUMENT TYPES

Documents that may be relevant

Eligibility and requirements depend on the process and the document.

01

Educational records

Degree certificates, diplomas and other educational documents.

02

Personal documents

Birth, marriage and other personal records.

03

Legal documents

Powers of attorney and other eligible legal documents.

04

The UAE mission publishes specific requirements and exclusions. Commercial invoices and certificates of origin must use the UAE MoFA’s eDAS 2.0 channel rather than the ordinary New Delhi document attestation service.

A DOCUMENT-SPECIFIC ROUTE

How the process generally works

    Tell us about your document and purpose

    Share the document type, issuing authority and intended use in the UAE.

  2. 02

    Check document-specific rules

    Identify applicable requirements and whether preliminary authentication is needed.

  3. 03

    Coordinate Indian authentication

    Where applicable, coordinate the agreed steps leading to the required Indian authentication stage.

  4. 04

    Check the UAE attestation channel

    Confirm current MoFA or mission process, eligibility, application method and supporting requirements.

  5. 05
