Ministry of Foreign Affairs Authentication
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Authentication
Ghanaian documents destined for the UAE must be authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration in Accra. This authentication confirms the document was issued by a recognised Ghanaian authority and is genuine. Without MFA authentication, UAE government agencies and employers cannot accept your Ghanaian documents.
Green Apple Attest provides an end-to-end service covering document verification, MFA authentication, UAE Embassy legalisation in Accra, and final MOFA attestation in the UAE. Our team in Accra handles the day-to-day processing while our UAE office manages the final stage and delivery.
Whether you are a Ghanaian professional taking up employment in the Gulf, a business expanding into the UAE market, or a family completing visa sponsorship paperwork, we ensure your documents move through the system efficiently and arrive fully attested.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Ensure your documents are original or properly certified copies. The MFA will reject uncertified photocopies.
- If your name on the document differs from your passport, prepare a statutory declaration or deed poll to link the names before starting the process.
- Submit all documents requiring authentication at the same time. Batch processing through the MFA is more efficient than individual submissions.
