If you are planning to work, study, or settle in the UAE, you know that document attestation is an important step. Recently, a new circular from the UAE Embassy has made this process much easier. Let’s break it down in simple words so that everyone can understand.
What is Document Attestation?
Imagine you are carrying a certificate (like your school certificate, degree, marriage certificate, or birth certificate) from India to the UAE.
The UAE authorities want to check if your document is real and not fake. For that, they need the document to be attested (officially stamped and approved) by different departments.
Old Process (Before the Circular)
Earlier the process was longer and more complicated:
-
First, your document was attested by Indian authorities (like State Home Department, HRD, or MEA).
-
Then, it went to the UAE Embassy in India for attestation.
-
Finally, the document had to be sent all the way to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) office in the UAE for the last stamp.
This meant extra time, extra courier costs, and a longer waiting period.
New Process (After the Circular)
Now, the big change is:
Both UAE Embassy attestation and MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) attestation will be completed within India itself. This means you no longer need to send your documents to the UAE for the MOFA step.
This new circular is a big relief for anyone dealing with UAE attestation. It makes the process faster, cheaper, and safer. If you or your family are planning to move to the UAE, you can now complete the entire attestation process in India itself.
