What is UAE Embassy Attestation?
UAE Embassy attestation is a process by which the Indian UAE Embassy or UAE consulate in India validates the authenticity and legality of your documents issued in India for use in the UAE. It is usually required for legalizing documents issued in one country while being used in another country. As a foreign country, UAE cannot check the validity of a document issued in India. Thus, getting an attestation from UAE Embassy in India after following an established verification procedure ensures the authenticity of Indian documents in UAE.
Embassy attestation had been a practice around the world to legalize foreign public documents. However, since the Hague convention, member countries only need an apostille for legalization of foreign documents. Although India is a Hague apostille country, UAE has not yet joined the convention. Thus, an Indian document needs to get UAE embassy attestation to legalize it in UAE.

UAE Embassy Attestation Process in Tamil Nadu
UAE Embassy attestation is not a single step process where you submit your documents to the UAE embassy and get it attested. Rather the documents need to be verified and attested from various lower authorities to get UAE consular or embassy attestation. There are two routes to authenticate documents for the UAE Embassy attestation procedure. They are:
- State Department Authentication Method
- Sub Divisional Magistrate Attestation Method
Both methods of authentication are equally valid. However, UAE authorities may specifically mention obtaining Tamilnadu state HRD attestation for educational documents if they require it. Unless they specifically mentioned it, you can do either state or SDM attestation. People generally choose SDM attestation because it is cheap. Moreover, the Taminadu HRD attestation process alone will take more than 30 days.
UAE Embassy Attestation Steps
Given below are the steps Secure Apostille Services follow to get UAE consular attestation/Embassy Attestation in Tamil Nadu:
- Notarization: In this step we will submit your documents to a public notary. A notary is an official who can authenticate documents. The notary goes through the details and signs on the document and attest it.
- SDM/ State Attestation: This step is different for both methods. If you have chosen the SDM attestation method, we will submit it to SDM. SDM attest with a seal and sign after verification. If you want to get state attestation, the document should be submitted to authorities from the state where it was issued. If the document is personal the attestation is done by the state home department. If it is an educational document, attestation is done by the HRD department. In both cases, the department will conduct verification at the place where the document was issued. For personal documents, it will be the local registrar and in case of educational documents such as the degree certificate, it will be the respective university. After verifying the seal, sign and the authority of the person who issued the document, the state department will attest it.
- MEA Attestation: In this step, SAS will submit your documents to the ministry of external affairs located in Delhi. The ministry verifies and attest documents with official seal and sign.
- UAE Embassy Attestation: UAE embassy is the highest diplomatic office of UAE in India. Similarly, there are local diplomatic offices called consulates outside the capital city. UAE embassy is in Delhi and consulates are in Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram. You can either get attestation from UAE consulate or UAE embassy. UAE embassy attestation is usually preferred unless your documents are from Maharashtra. The UAE embassy will affix a seal or stamp on your document after verification. This process makes your Indian document valid in the UAE.
- MOFA Attestation: This is the final step of legalization of Indian documents. This is sometimes considered as UAE Embassy attestation from the UAE. In this step we will courier your documents to the UAE. The ministry of foreign affairs UAE will attest your document. Sometimes, UAE authorities may allow you to get UAE MOFA attestation after arrival.
MOFA UAE Attestation
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) UAE attestation is the final legalization step for using Indian documents in the UAE. Your documents are not valid in UAE without MOFA attestation. If your employer asked you to get MOFA attestation before reaching UAE, secure apostille services can take care of it.
