What is MOFA attestation in UAE?

MOFA attestation is the final step in document authentication for use in UAE. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs verifies that documents have been properly notarised and legalised, then stamps them with an official seal. This makes your certificates, diplomas, and personal documents valid for UAE government and employment purposes.

How long does MOFA attestation take?

MOFA attestation typically takes 2–5 business days once your documents are submitted and properly notarised. PBS Consultancies manages both the notarisation and MOFA steps, so you get one timeline instead of chasing two offices.

Can I get MOFA attestation in Dubai or Sharjah?

Yes. MOFA attestation is centralised through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abu Dhabi, but PBS has offices in Dubai and Sharjah to collect your documents, manage the process, and deliver attested copies back to you.

How much does MOFA attestation cost?

MOFA attestation fees are set by the government and typically range from AED 50–100 per document. PBS provides a clear quote including notarisation, attestation, and delivery fees before you proceed.

What's the difference between notarisation and MOFA attestation?

Notarisation is the first step — a notary public verifies the document and signs/stamps it. MOFA attestation is the second step — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stamps it again to confirm the notary's work. Together, they make your document internationally recognised and valid in UAE.
