If you plan to live and work in the UAE, and your official papers are from the United States, you must get your USA certificates attested. This is required for work, school, family visas, or business. Attestation proves to the UAE government that your American documents are real and valid. Without it, important papers like diplomas, birth certificates, or contracts might be rejected. Bluemoon Attestation in Dubai can help you navigate this complicated process easily. Here’s a simple explanation of the steps:
First, in the USA, a notary public must verify your original document. This confirms the document and signature are real. This notarization is essential because UAE officials want proof that your documents were checked right from the start. Next, the document goes to the Secretary of State in the state where it was issued. This office checks that the notary was authorized to notarize documents. For example, a diploma from California needs approval from the California Secretary of State.
After the state's approval, the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., reviews the document. They confirm that the state-level approval is valid. This federal check is important for all types of documents. Once the U.S. Department of State approves it, the document is sent to the UAE Embassy in Washington, D.C. The embassy checks that the document has been correctly attested in the United States. Only then can you use your document in the UAE.
When your document arrives in Dubai, it needs a final stamp from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the UAE. MOFA checks all the previous steps to ensure the document is legal and acceptable in the UAE. To get a work visa, enroll in a university, bring family members to the UAE, or start a business, the UAE government requires attested documents that have completed this five-step process.
