AttestationCertificate.com is an independent guide and attestation service in Dubai that shows people holding a certificate from another country how to get it attested for the UAE, country by country, and handles the stamps for you on request.
A certificate from abroad does not become valid in the UAE by itself. It has to collect a series of stamps first, and the series depends on where the paper was issued. This site is organised the same way: find the country, then follow its chain.
How does attestation for the UAE work?
In most cases the chain has three parts. First the issuing country confirms the document, through a notary, a registry, a university or an apostille authority. Second, the UAE embassy or consulate in that country attests it. Third, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs adds its own attestation, and for many countries the embassy and MOFA now do this together online.
The details change from country to country, which is why each country has its own guide. Start with all countries or read how the UAE embassy digital route works.
What do official fees look like?
Governments publish their own fees and they differ widely. Each guide shows the fees we could confirm on an official page, with the date we checked. The page on fees by country puts them side by side.
What if my country is not listed?
Send a photo of the document on WhatsApp. If we do not hold a guide for the country we say so, and tell you what we can check before you spend anything. See also what to do when your country is not listed.
Who runs this site?
Our team in Dubai, who research each page from official sources and re-check the fee tables. AI tools help draft text, and every fact is checked against the official source before a page goes live. Read more on the about page.
What do I get on each country page?
A short answer first: the chain, the time and the fee. Then a table of each stamp with the authority that gives it, the official fees with their source and check date, the documents you need and the reasons files are sent back. If a fact could not be confirmed on an official page, the page says so and tells you where to confirm it before you pay.
Can you do the steps for me?
Yes, if you want that. Send a photo of the certificate on WhatsApp and we reply with the stamps and the cost. If you prefer to do it yourself, the guides are written so you can.
