USA Certificate Attestation

For expatriates and businesses, obtaining US certificate attestation in Dubai is a crucial step in ensuring that the UAE authorities will legally recognise and accept their US-issued documents, such as degree certificates, commercial documents, birth certificates, and marriage certificates, for various purposes, including visa applications and official transactions.

Before using the certificates, the United Arab Emirates requires authentication. Without UAE embassy legalisation in the USA, the government of the UAE will not acknowledge any document or certificate issued in the United States. To obtain a UAE visa, US certificate attestation in Dubai is required.

How do I process a US certificate attestation for the UAE?

1. If necessary, translate the document from a foreign language to English or Arabic.
2. The US Notary Public shall certify the document as a true copy.
3. The US Secretary of State authenticates the document.
4. In the United States, the Department of State provides authentication.
5. The UAE Embassy in Washington, DC, USA, legalizes the document.
6. MOFA attestation is the final step in the UAE's attestation process.

Certificate attestation provides a seal of approval, confirming their authenticity and genuineness. This process, also known as embassy attestation, verifies the legitimacy of the certificate holder's claims. For those moving to the UAE or applying for a job or residence visa, a US birth certificate, a US marriage certificate, and US degree attestation are required. Furthermore, individuals from other countries must also undergo UAE certificate and degree attestation.

Step 1: The translation process

Translation from a regional language to English or Arabic isn’t always required, but sometimes it can help move the attestation process forward. If we advise that translating your marriage or birth certificate can benefit you, we suggest you translate the document. We work with reputable legal translation companies to ensure that your documents comply with UAE law.

Step 2: Send the certificates to a US notary public

Once we complete the translation, we will dispatch it to the USA via a reliable courier service. Our partners will take your certificate to a notary public, sign it, and stamp it as proof of its authenticity.

Step 3: Send the certificates to the USA's Regional Secretary of State

The Secretary of State in the US must receive all legal documents for authentication.

Step 4: Send the certificates to the Department of State in the USA

After the Secretary of State has attested to your certificate, we’ll submit it to the Department of State. This will be the final stamp from US authorities.

Step 5: Send the certificates to the UAE Embassy in Washington

Once the US authorities have approved the degree, we will send it to the UAE embassy in Washington.

Step 6: Submit the degree to the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides the final stamp of approval for all attested documents. After the MOFA certifies the degree, you can apply for a residence visa.
