Complete Pakistan Attestation Chain
Complete Pakistan Attestation Chain
Pakistani documents require a rigorous multi-step attestation process before they are accepted in the UAE. Educational documents must pass through HEC verification and Pakistan MOFA before reaching the UAE Embassy. Personal documents require authentication from the relevant issuing authority and MOFA. Each step has specific requirements, and a single missing stamp means the next authority in the chain will reject your documents.
GreenAttest's Complete Pakistan Attestation Chain service eliminates the complexity of managing multiple government agencies across two countries. We assign a dedicated case handler who coordinates every step, from initial document collection in Pakistan through final MOFA stamping in the UAE. You receive a single timeline, a single point of contact, and real-time updates at every stage.
This service is ideal for professionals relocating to the UAE who need multiple documents attested simultaneously, families sponsoring dependents, and businesses establishing operations that require legalized commercial documents from Pakistan.
Documents Required
- Original certificates to be attested (degree, birth, marriage, commercial, etc.)
- Official transcripts (for educational documents)
- CNIC copy of the document holder
- Passport copy (front and back pages)
- Passport-size photographs (2 copies)
- Authorization letter for GreenAttest to act on your behalf
- UAE visa or Emirates ID copy (if applicable)
Special Requirements

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Compile all documents you will need attested and submit them together. Processing a complete package (degree, transcript, birth certificate, marriage certificate) in one order is significantly faster and cheaper than processing them individually over time.
- Begin the attestation process immediately upon receiving your UAE job offer. The 20-30 day timeline runs concurrently with visa processing, but starting late can delay your joining date.
- Ensure your CNIC is renewed and your passport is valid for at least 6 months. Both are cross-referenced at multiple stages, and expired identification documents cause processing halts.
- Inform GreenAttest of your UAE employer's specific document requirements upfront. Some UAE free zones and government entities require additional verification steps that we can integrate into the process from the start.
