Attestation and translation, documents that are accepted first time.
Certificates and company documents need the right stamps, in the right order, before UAE authorities accept them. We handle attestation, legal translation and degree equivalency.
Attestation and translation services
Personal, educational and business documents, for use in the UAE or abroad.
Which way is your document going?
The steps depend on where the document was issued and where it will be used.
Issued abroad, used in the UAE
- Attested by the relevant authorities in the issuing country
- Attested by the UAE embassy or consulate in that country
- Attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Translated into Arabic, if the authority asks for it
Issued in the UAE, used abroad
- Attested by the issuing UAE authority or Chamber of Commerce, where needed
- Attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Attested by the destination country’s embassy in the UAE
- Translated into the destination language, if needed
How attestation works
Each stamp confirms the one before it, so the order matters. We check the chain before you start.

- 2
Issuing country
The document is attested in the country that issued it.
- 3
Embassy and ministry
It’s attested by the relevant embassy and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Translate and deliver
We arrange legal translation if needed and return your original.
Common questions
Do you need my original documents?
For attestation, yes. Stamps go on the original, so we collect it and return it when done. For translation, a clear scan is usually enough.
Can you attest documents from my home country?
We handle the UAE steps for documents from any country. For the home-country steps, we guide you or coordinate through partners where available.
What will it cost?
Each quote has two parts: the fees charged by the ministries and embassies, and our service fee. We send both before you pay.
My document has an apostille. Is that enough?
UAE authorities have traditionally required the full attestation chain rather than an apostille. Rules can change, so we confirm the current requirement for your document and country before you start.
