Attesting a foreign certificate for use in the UAE involves a chain of stamps: notary in the home country, foreign ministry, UAE embassy in the home country, and finally MOFA in the UAE. We handle the entire chain from our Musaffah centre so you don't have to shuttle between embassies and ministries. Translation to Arabic is included where required.
