Ministry of Foreign Affairs Authentication
Complete processing through Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, including prior notarization and document verification, for personal and educational documents.
Complete authentication of Ghanaian documents through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration for UAE use. We manage verification, MFA legalisation, UAE Embassy processing, and MOFA attestation.
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.
