What Is MOFA Attestation and Why Is It Required in the UAE
Final Step in Official Document Validation
MOFA attestation is the final legalisation step required for documents to be officially recognised in the UAE or abroad. It confirms the authenticity of signatures and stamps through the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This procedure is mandatory for personal, academic, and commercial documents used in immigration, employment, education, licensing, or legal proceedings.
Through EGSH, individuals and companies can attest their documents at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), with full support in preparation, translation, and compliance checks.
