MoFAIC is in charge of examining and approving documents created by other regional governmental bodies both within Dubai and through its international missions. Its attestation services encompass a broad spectrum of documents, ranging from personal to commercial, that have been issued either within the UAE or abroad.
MOFA attestation is a process to confirm the validity of the signature and seal on documents issued in the UAE or abroad. MOFA attestation in Dubai is a must for UAE residence visas.
