The Basics
What Is a UAE Attestation Route?
An attestation route is the ordered set of authorities your document must pass through before a UAE office will accept it.
Relevant Checks
State, ministry, chamber of commerce, UAE Embassy or Consulate — the steps depend on document type, purpose and format.
UAE Use
The route ends at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) — the final stamp that lets your document be accepted UAE-wide.
