Frequently Asked

PRO services — questions we always hear.

Straightforward answers about attestation, apostille, and document clearing in the UAE.

Attestation is the general process by which a UAE authority (typically MOFA) verifies the authenticity of a document's origin — it's used when the destination country requires confirmation through its own embassy or consulate in the UAE. An apostille is a specific standardised certification issued under the Hague Convention that is automatically recognised by all 124 member countries without further embassy legalisation. If your destination country is in the Hague Convention (most of Europe, UK, US), apostille is usually the faster route. If not (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India for many purposes), full attestation through the embassy chain is required.
In most cases, yes — though the sequence matters. For UAE documents going abroad, the original document is typically attested first, then the certified translation is attached and attested alongside it. For foreign documents entering the UAE, translation is usually done in parallel with or after MOFA attestation. We advise the exact sequence for your specific document and destination before we begin — never the other way round, which is a common and costly mistake.
Yes — this is the most popular option and typically the most cost-effective. We handle translation (MOJ-certified, native translators), then MOFA attestation, then any embassy legalisation required, then delivery — all on a single invoice with a single project manager. You hand us the original document and we return it fully processed and attested.
Standard MOFA attestation typically takes 24–48 hours from submission. Same-day MOFA is available for documents submitted to us before 9:00 AM on a working day — we hand-carry the same morning and collect the same afternoon. Embassy legalisation timelines depend on the specific embassy — German Consulate Dubai typically takes 3–5 working days, others vary. We confirm the exact timeline for each embassy at quoting stage.
No — and we are transparent about this upfront. Government fees (MOFA, embassy, court fees) are charged at exact cost with zero markup and shown as a separate line on your invoice. Our service fee covers our time, transportation, queuing, submission expertise, and follow-up. We will never add undisclosed fees — the written quote you receive before we begin shows both numbers clearly.
Yes. We operate across all seven Emirates. Our main submission teams are based in Dubai and Abu Dhabi — covering Dubai Courts, DIFC, ADGM, and the federal MOFA and embassy corridor in Abu Dhabi. For Sharjah, Ajman, RAK, UAQ, and Fujairah, we either dispatch directly or use same-day courier to bring documents to our submission team. Same-day delivery back is available across the UAE.
