UAE Digital Attestation: Key Features and Online Verification: Digital Attestation Through the UAE Embassy in London

The UAE Embassy in London works with the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide a digital attestation route for eligible documents.

This means applicants can complete the attestation process online, instead of relying only on a traditional paper-based process.

Comprehensive Digital Workflow

The digital attestation service allows applicants to apply online and receive the attestation online.

This creates a clearer workflow for individuals, companies and organisations that need documents recognised in the UAE.

Expedited Processing

Digital attestations are typically completed within 2–3 個工作天.

This faster process can help applicants who need UAE document attestation for employment, study, business, relocation, banking, family matters or official use.

Official Verification

Once a document has been digitally attested, it becomes a Digital Trusted Document.

The UAE authorities can verify its authenticity, integrity and validity from the official source.

This gives the receiving party in the UAE a secure way to confirm that the attested document is genuine.

How to Verify a UAE Digital Attestation

You can verify an attested document through MOFA VERIFY.

To check the document, enter:

Attestation Reference Number
Issued Date

MOFA VERIFY then confirms whether the Digital Trusted Document is authentic, valid and unchanged.
