UAE Attestation New Rules September 2025
If you are planning to move to the UAE for a job, higher education, business, or even family purposes, you will need your Indian documents to be legally recognized there. And from 2025, the UAE will have made the attestation process much simpler for you!
What Has Changed in 2025 for UAE Attestation?
Until now, you had to get the UAE Embassy attestation in India and then send your documents to the UAE for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) attestation.
From 2025 onwards, both steps will be done together in India. Instead of two separate stickers, you will now get one single-page certificate from the UAE Embassy only, implying that both the UAE Embassy attestation and the MOFA attestation are complete.
This means you no longer need to send your documents abroad for MoFA attestation.
Step-by-Step UAE Attestation & MOFA Process
Here’s how you can now complete the process:
1. State and MEA Verification
Get your documents verified locally: Notary, SDM, HRD, Home Department, or Chamber of Commerce (depending on your document type).
MEA attestation: The Ministry of External Affairs in India confirms the authenticity of your document.
2. UAE Embassy Submission
Once the MEA has attested your document, you can submit it to the UAE Embassy or Consulate in India. The UAE Embassy will perform both Embassy and MoFA attestation and issue you a single verified certificate.
Why This is Good News for You
- You will save weeks of time as you don’t have to wait for MoFA verification in the UAE.
- There will be no back-and-forth between countries; everything is done in India.
- You will save money as there will be no need for international couriers or multiple service charges.
- There will be less Stress as the embassy will give you the final certified document.
