What Is UK Certificate Attestation?

UK certificate attestation is the official process of verifying UK-issued documents so they are legally accepted in the UAE.

When you present a UK document in the UAE — for a job, visa, or business — UAE authorities require proof that it is genuine. Attestation adds official stamps and signatures from recognised bodies in both countries.

UK Certificate Attestation — A 4-Step Process

Step 1: Notary Attestation in the UK

A certified Notary Public in the UK checks and signs your document. This confirms it is genuine and was legally issued. We work with trusted UK notary partners who handle this quickly and securely.

Step 2: FCDO Attestation (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office)

The FCDO is the official UK government body for document authentication. Their stamp confirms your certificate is valid and recognised by the UK government. This step is required before UAE authorities will accept your document.

Step 3: UAE Embassy Attestation in London

After FCDO, your document is submitted to the UAE Embassy in London. The Embassy reviews and stamps it, confirming the UAE officially recognises it. We handle all submissions and return your document safely to the UAE.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE

MOFA is the final step inside the UAE. This stamp is required for most official uses — employment, education, family visas, and business setup. Our UAE team submits your document to MOFA as soon as it arrives.
