What Is Experience Certificate Attestation in the UAE

Verify the Authenticity of a Professional Experience Letter

Experience certificate attestation is the legal verification of a work experience or employment certificate issued in the UAE or abroad. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC) confirms the authenticity of the document's seal and signature, making it valid for official use in Dubai and across the UAE.

Attestation is required for individuals presenting an employment certificate in the UAE for purposes such as new job applications, visa processing, professional licensing, or other government procedures. Both residents and foreign applicants must complete attestation before the UAE authorities can accept the certificate.

EGSH, as a government-authorised centre, manages the process through MOFAIC's official system, including verification, submission, and courier handling, so the client receives a fully attested certificate without additional steps.

What is the process for attesting an experience certificate in the UAE?

The process of attesting an experience certificate begins with the submission of the original certificate. If the certificate was issued outside the UAE, it must first be attested by the relevant authority in the issuing country and by the UAE embassy or consulate before applying to MOFAIC. MOFAIC verifies the seal and signature, stamps the document, and returns an attested certificate within three business days. Applying through the EGSH streamlines the procedure: advisors check the format of your experience certificate, confirm prior attestations, submit the application to MOFAIC, and arrange courier handling on your behalf. This ensures compliance and helps prevent rejection or delays.

How long does it take to attest a work experience certificate in the UAE?

The UAE MOFAIC completes work experience certificate attestation within three working days. The timeframe depends on whether the certificate was issued in the UAE or abroad, as well as the chosen courier service for delivery. Foreign certificates typically require more time, as they must first be legalised by the issuing country’s authority and the UAE embassy before being attested by MOFAIC.

What are the official government fees for an employment certificate attestation in the UAE?

The official fee for an employment certificate in the UAE is 150 AED per document (MOFAIC fee). Payment can be made via MOFAIC’s approved e-channels. Separate courier charges apply for the collection and delivery of documents. EGSH provides applicants with a complete fee breakdown before submission, ensuring full clarity on all official charges.

Can I apply for an experience certificate attestation online if I am not currently in the UAE?

Yes, but only after completing the required legalisation steps in the country of issue. A foreign work certificate must first be certified by the local authority (for example, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and then attested at the UAE embassy or consulate abroad. After these steps, the document can be submitted for the MOFAIC experience certificate attestation in the UAE. Although applications and fee payments can be made online via the official MOFAIC website using UAE PASS, the original certificate must still be delivered to MOFAIC by courier or via an authorised centre. EGSH manages the entire employment certificate legalisation and attestation process through MOFAIC’s authorised channels, relieving clients of the need to visit multiple authorities or arrange document delivery.

Is an embassy attestation required for an experience certificate in the UAE?

If the certificate was issued outside the UAE, it must first be attested by the UAE embassy or consulate in the country of origin before being submitted to MOFAIC for attestation. Embassy attestation confirms the authenticity of the local authority’s stamp, allowing MOFAIC to finalise the legalisation of the document in Dubai.

Is an attested experience certificate valid for visa applications in the UAE?

The UAE authorities legally recognise an attested experience certificate, which can be submitted as part of a residence visa application, renewal or professional licensing procedure. Without an MOFAIC-attested experience certificate, the document will not be accepted for immigration purposes.

Can a representative submit my certificate of employment for attestation on my behalf?

An authorised representative may submit a UAE certificate of employment, provided the application is filed through official MOFAIC channels. The representative must ensure that the original document and supporting identification (a valid Emirates ID or a passport copy) are available for verification and that all prior legalisations are complete, if the certificate was issued abroad.

How long is an attested experience certificate valid for?

An attested experience certificate does not have an expiry date. Once finalised through the MOFAIC experience certificate attestation, the document remains permanently valid as proof of past employment. However, some authorities in the UAE, such as licensing bodies or immigration departments, may request that the certificate be recent — typically issued within the last six months to one year — to confirm current employment status.

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed. I was amazed, considering how difficult it had seemed before. Not to mention, the fees were the same or even lower than those of the other companies I mentioned. For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.
