Document Clearing & Attestation
Get personal and corporate documents attested, translated and submitted to UAE authorities without visiting government offices yourself.
What this service covers
Almost every UAE licence, visa or bank application relies on documents being attested and, often, translated into Arabic. Documents issued outside the UAE usually need a chain of attestations in the home country, at the UAE embassy and then at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
We manage the whole chain, prepare legal translations and handle the typing and submission work with UAE authorities, so your applications are not held up by paperwork.
Who it is for
- Companies preparing licence or amendment applications
- Shareholders using foreign corporate documents in the UAE
- Employees and families applying for visas
- Anyone who needs degrees or certificates recognised in the UAE

Common questions.
Usually yes. Indian documents typically need attestation in India and by the UAE Embassy, followed by UAE MOFA attestation. We coordinate each step.
From a few days for UAE-issued documents to a few weeks for documents issued abroad. We give you a timeline once we see the documents.
Many UAE authorities and courts require a certified Arabic translation. We arrange translations they accept.
