What is Ministry of Justice Attestation in UAE?

The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) attestation in the UAE is the official government process of verifying and authenticating legal documents to confirm their legitimacy for use within the UAE legal system.

Established in 1971, the UAE Ministry of Justice oversees all document authentication services, making MOJ attestation a mandatory step for a wide range of personal, legal, and commercial documents.

Unlike basic notarization, MOJ attestation carries the full legal weight of the UAE federal government — making your documents recognized by courts, government bodies, corporations, and international authorities.

How It Works

Step-by-Step MOJ Attestation Process in UAE

Our streamlined process ensures your documents are attested quickly, correctly, and hassle-free — every time.

1
Document Notarization
The first step is notarization by a licensed UAE notary public. The notary verifies the identity of the signatory and stamps the document. For locally-drafted documents (affidavits, POAs), this is done at a UAE Notary Public office. For foreign-issued documents, notarization must occur in the home country first.
⏱ Typically same day
2
MOFA Attestation (for Foreign Documents)
Foreign documents must be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of the issuing country, followed by UAE Embassy or Consulate attestation in that country. UAE-issued documents skip to MOFA UAE attestation. This step ensures the document is recognized by UAE authorities.
⏱ 2–5 business days
3
Certified Arabic Legal Translation
If the document is not in Arabic, an official certified translation into Arabic is mandatory. The translation must be carried out by a UAE Ministry of Justice licensed translator. Our in-house MOJ-licensed translators ensure accuracy and acceptance by all UAE authorities.
⏱ 1–2 business days
4
Ministry of Justice (MOJ) Submission
We submit your document package — original document, certified translation, passport copy, Emirates ID, and any required supporting documents — to the MOJ office or via the MOJ digital portal. Our specialists manage all formalities and follow up on your behalf.
⏱ 1–3 business days
5
Collection & Delivery
Once MOJ attestation is complete, we collect your fully authenticated documents and deliver them to your address anywhere in the UAE — or you can collect from our office. Your documents are now legally valid for all UAE and international uses.
✅ Done! Fully attested

Maria
Certificate Translation
An absolutely positive experience with the company’s services. The entire process was conducted online, with no need to visit the office in person. From the moment I submitted my request to receiving the finalized document, less than four hours passed — even though I had purchased a non-urgent service package. I worked with a consultant Maida, who was always available and responded instantly. An outstanding experience with this company — I will definitely recommend it to friends and will use their services again myself.

The service was efficient and reliable, with clear pricing and fast turnaround. I highly recommend them and most especially Leniline for anyone needing document attestation.
