HOME COUNTRY ATTESTATION

Home country attestation is the process of verifying documents in the country where they were originally issued before they can be used in the UAE. This typically involves attestation by local authorities such as notary departments, education boards, and ministries (e.g., Ministry of External Affairs). Once attested in the home country, the documents can then proceed to UAE Embassy attestation and finally be attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This process is essential for the legal use of documents in the UAE for purposes such as employment, education, visa processing, or business setup.
