UAE Embassy Attestation

UAE Embassy Attestation Services

UAE Embassy attestation is the verification of a document by the UAE Embassy or Consulate located in the country where the document was issued. It is a mandatory step before final MOFA attestation in the UAE — without the embassy seal, MOFAIC will not legalise your certificate.

What is UAE Embassy attestation?

UAE Embassy (or UAE Consulate) attestation is the legalisation step performed by the UAE diplomatic mission in the country that issued your document. The embassy verifies the home-country MOFA stamp already on the certificate and adds its own seal, confirming that the document is genuine and ready to be presented to UAE authorities. This step is required for educational, personal and commercial documents from countries that are not part of the Hague Apostille Convention with the UAE — and even for many Hague countries when documents are used for federal UAE procedures. Benchmark coordinates directly with our partner offices in your home country to complete embassy submission, pay the consular fees, and ship the legalised original to Dubai.
