If you’re moving to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for work, study, business, or to sponsor family members—and your documents were issued in Oman—you will need to get them attested before they are recognized by UAE authorities. Attestation ensures your documents are legally valid and accepted for official use in the UAE.

This guide explains the step-by-step process for attesting Omani documents, and how professional services like Quick Attestation can simplify the experience for you.

Why Is Attestation Required?

The UAE does not recognize foreign documents at face value, even if they are government-issued. That’s why attestation (or legalization) is essential. It proves that the document is genuine and has been verified by both the Omani and UAE authorities.

Attestation is necessary for a wide range of document types, such as:

• Educational Certificates (Degrees, Diplomas, Transcripts)
• Marriage, Birth, and Divorce Certificates
• Police Clearance Certificates (PCC)
• Power of Attorney, Affidavits
• Commercial and Company Documents

Step-by-Step Attestation Process for Oman Documents

Here’s how the attestation flow works for using Oman-issued documents in the UAE:

1. Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Attestation in Oman

Your original document must first be authenticated by MOFA Oman, which certifies that it was issued by a legitimate authority within the country.

2. UAE Embassy Attestation in Oman

After MOFA Oman, the next step is to submit the document to the UAE Embassy in Muscat for consular verification.

3. UAE MOFA Attestation

Once in the UAE, the document must receive a final stamp from the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) to be considered valid for official purposes.
