Federal Document Attestation: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to get your official documents verified for use abroad through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This service allows you to have your official paperwork verified so that it is legally recognized and accepted when you use it in another country.

Who it's for

This service is available to all citizens. It is designed to help individuals who need to present official paperwork to authorities or institutions outside of the country.

What you get

You receive official attestation for your documents. This process provides the necessary verification to ensure your paperwork is valid for use abroad. This is a standard requirement for many international processes, such as working, studying, or managing legal affairs in a different nation.

What it costs you

There are attestation fees associated with this service. These costs are calculated based on each individual document you need to have verified. You should check the official portal for the current amount per document before you begin the process.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that documents must be translated into Arabic if they are not already in that language. If you attempt to submit documents in another language without the required translation, your application may not be processed. Ensuring your paperwork is translated correctly is a necessary step to avoid delays.

How to apply

  1. Gather all the original documents that require verification.
  2. Check the language of your documents; if they are not in Arabic, arrange for them to be translated.
  3. Visit the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal to start your application and pay the necessary fees.
  4. Follow the specific instructions provided on the portal to complete the submission.
