Working with foreign missions
Consulate Services
Sometimes UAE documents must be used abroad, or foreign documents need a stamp from their country's mission in the UAE. DocTrust coordinates with embassies and consulates to get your documents legalised.
Quick answer
Consulate services cover legalisation of UAE-issued documents for use abroad (MOFA attestation, then the foreign embassy or consulate in the UAE) and coordination with foreign missions for attestation and certifications. Typical documents include commercial invoices, certificates of origin, company documents, degrees and personal certificates.

Consulate Services: common questions
Do I need to visit the embassy myself?
Usually not. Most embassies accept submissions through authorised agents. Some require the applicant in person for specific services.
