UAE attestation cost calculator

What the result means

The result is an illustration, not a checkout quote. MoFA publishes the base document tariffs; the UAE Embassy London publishes the transaction formula used here. That mission source does not establish a universal surcharge across all payment channels. Confirm the actual amount and included stages before payment.

The rest of the chain is not one tariff. A document issued abroad can pass through an issuing authority, foreign ministry, UAE mission, courier and translator before MoFA sees it. Each institution sets its own price and some publish no current figure. This calculator shows those lines as exclusions instead of filling them with an average that may be wrong for your country.

Examples

The transaction charge is calculated once on the transaction: AED 3 plus 2 per cent of the document-fee subtotal. If a provider splits documents into separate transactions, ask how that changes the charges.

Costs this calculator cannot determine

It cannot know whether the UAE mission abroad adds a separately payable leg, whether a long agreement will be treated as multiple documents, whether your power of attorney is commercial, or whether the receiving authority wants a translation. Those are document and corridor questions, not arithmetic questions.

Use the number above to understand the arithmetic, then check the actual quote and payment channel. The attestation cost guide explains the different fee categories; confirm current figures with each authority.

Add a quoted courier amount

The optional field adds your quoted delivery amount to the illustrative fee component. Leave it blank when unknown. Enter zero only if your quote explicitly confirms no separate delivery charge. This selected-component subtotal still excludes any other required stages; do not present it as a complete UAE-route total.
