About this service
Documents Attestation with Qube Business Solutions
Foreign documents only carry legal weight in the UAE once they have passed through the full attestation chain. Educational certificates, marriage certificates and powers of attorney all require this before they can be used.
A foreign document carries no legal weight in the UAE until it has passed the full chain: notarisation in the country of origin, attestation by that country's foreign ministry, attestation by the UAE embassy there, and finally attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Degree certificates are the most common requirement, needed for professional visas and regulated activities. Marriage and birth certificates are required for family sponsorship. Powers of attorney and corporate documents need the same treatment when used in UAE transactions.
