All attestation services offered by the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation will be offered online as of July 18.
However, documents will still have to be stamped in person before individuals can use the service.
“Please make sure all the documents you wish to have attested are attested/stamped by relevant authorities before applying for this service,” the MoFAIC cautions in the guide.
The MoFAIC attests personal documents like education, marriage and birth certificates; and official ones like licences and invoices to authenticate them. In most cases, the attestation process is mandatory to validate important documents required for employment, visa issuance and studies, among others.
“People of determination and senior Emiratis and citizens can attest their documents by calling 80044444,” the ministry posted.
