MAEC Full Authentication
MAEC Full Authentication
Moroccan documents require authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates (MAEC) before they are accepted in the UAE. The Moroccan legalisation chain typically begins at the local Tribunal de Premiere Instance before proceeding to the MAEC in Rabat.
Green Apple Attest manages the full authentication process from Morocco to the UAE. We coordinate with local courts, the MAEC, the UAE Embassy in Rabat, and the UAE MOFA to deliver documents that are ready for submission to any UAE authority. Our team in Morocco navigates the administrative requirements in both Arabic and French, ensuring nothing is lost in translation.
Whether you are a Moroccan professional relocating to the Gulf, a business establishing cross-border operations, or a family completing visa paperwork, our service eliminates the complexity of dealing with multiple government offices across two countries.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Have your documents legalised by the Tribunal de Premiere Instance before sending them. If you are unable to do this yourself, we can arrange it through our Morocco team.
- Moroccan civil documents such as marriage certificates and birth certificates are often in French. Confirm with your UAE employer whether a certified English translation is needed alongside the authenticated original.
- Allow at least three weeks for the full chain. Moroccan government offices observe different holiday schedules than the UAE, which can affect processing times.
