MOFA attestation vs full attestation
UAE MOFA attestation is the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs step. Full attestation normally means the required steps in the country that issued the document first, followed by the UAE-side requirements. Which one you need depends on the document and where it was issued. See our MOFA attestation guide for details.
Documents commonly attested
- Marriage and birth certificates
- Degree certificates and academic transcripts
- Commercial and company documents
- Powers of attorney and other legal documents
