How the process works
Official attestation services and verification links
Short answer
Use mofa.gov.ae for UAE attestation applications and verify.mofa.gov.ae to check a completed result. Earlier steps belong to the authority responsible for the document: KHDA, ADEK, MoE or MoHESR for education; courts for UAE civil-status or notarial records; and the relevant UAE mission for foreign-issued documents. This directory links to the service, not an agent copy.
