Insider tips
Frequently asked questions
Sri Lankan documents must first be authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Colombo before they can be attested by the Sri Lankan Embassy in the UAE. GreenAttest coordinates with our partners in Colombo to handle Foreign Ministry verification, then manages embassy attestation in Abu Dhabi and final MOFA UAE processing. This end-to-end service eliminates the need for you to coordinate across multiple agencies in two countries.
Yes, Sri Lankan educational certificates including O/L and A/L results, university degrees, and professional qualifications can all be attested for UAE employment. Documents must first be verified by the relevant Sri Lankan education authority (UGC for university degrees, Department of Examinations for O/L and A/L), then authenticated by the Foreign Ministry before embassy attestation. GreenAttest handles this entire sequence.
Sri Lankan police clearance certificates issued by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) require Foreign Ministry attestation in Colombo before the Sri Lankan Embassy in the UAE can process them. Given that police clearances have a limited validity period (typically 3-6 months), GreenAttest prioritizes these documents to ensure they remain valid throughout the attestation chain. We recommend starting the process immediately upon receiving your CID clearance.
The complete attestation process for Sri Lankan documents typically takes 15-20 business days, covering Foreign Ministry authentication in Colombo (5-7 days), embassy attestation in Abu Dhabi (5-7 days), and MOFA UAE final processing (3-5 days). GreenAttest offers an expedited track that can reduce total processing to 8-12 business days by fast-tracking each stage simultaneously where possible.
Documents issued in Sinhala or Tamil must be translated into English or Arabic by a certified translator before UAE authorities will accept them. GreenAttest provides certified translation services as part of our attestation package, ensuring translations meet both Sri Lankan Embassy and MOFA UAE standards. English-language documents issued by Sri Lankan authorities generally do not require translation.
