Apostille is an international certification under the Hague Convention (the UAE joined in 2024). The process you need depends on the destination country — Green Apple Travel can advise which attestation type your documents require.

MOFA can attest: birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, death certificates, degree certificates, diplomas, academic transcripts, trade licenses, power of attorney, board resolutions, commercial invoices, salary certificates, experience letters, and medical reports. Both personal and commercial documents are eligible.

Yes, certain documents need MOFA attestation for UAE residence visa applications, particularly educational certificates for employment visas and marriage/birth certificates for family sponsorship visas.
