Relocating to the UAE from Spain is an exciting journey, but it comes with its share of paperwork. One crucial step is document attestation—a process that ensures your Spanish documents are legally recognized in the UAE. Whether it’s a degree certificate, birth certificate, marriage certificate, or business document, attestation is necessary for official use.
At Attestify Global Incorporation, we specialize in handling the entire Spanish document attestation process, making it seamless and hassle-free. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps and show you how we can assist you.
What is Document Attestation?
Document attestation involves the process of authenticating and certifying documents issued by one country for legal acceptance in another. A great example would be, if you have a degree from a Spanish university, the degree will be accepted as authentic in UAE only after attestation.
Foreign documents in the UAE have a legal framework that is different and at times more complex than expected and that includes document attestation. In UAE for foreign documents, legal requirements can be strict, thus it is important to do the right steps of attestation. Attestify Global Inc aids in making this process easier to understand and prevents unnecessary delays or denial.
.Step-by-Step Process to Attest Spanish Documents for the UAE
The attestation process consists of multiple steps, each ensuring that your documents are valid and legally binding in the UAE.
Step 1: Notarization in Spain
Not all documents are eligible to bypass Spanish borders. The notary’s job is to authenticate documents and apply their stamp and signature to it.
Step 2: Translation (If Required)
All formal documents from the UAE are issued in Arabic which means the Spanish ones have to be first changed into English. This is arguably the most important step since the English version of the document will be used for the attestation process.
Step 3: Apostille from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Apostille is an internationally recognized certification that verifies the legitimacy of a document. In Spain, you must obtain an Apostille from the Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, Unión Europea y Cooperación (MAEUEC) in Madrid. This step confirms that your document is officially recognized by the Spanish government.
Step 4: UAE Embassy Attestation in Spain
Claiming to be valid for usage in the UAE is insufficient for most people. An apostille alone is not enough, having it confirmed by the UAE Embassy in Madrid is mandatory. By doing so the embassy claims the apostille and seals the document. The document is now valid for usage in Spain.
Step 5: UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) Attestation
After completing the attestation process in Spain, the final step is to get MoFA attestation in the UAE. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation (MoFAIC) checks that all necessary stamps and approvals are in place before issuing the final attestation.
Once this is complete, your document is legally valid for use in the UAE!
