MOFA Final Stamp
MOFA Final Stamp
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) stamp is the final attestation step required for any foreign document to be legally valid in the United Arab Emirates. Without the MOFA stamp, even documents that carry embassy attestation cannot be presented to UAE government departments, courts, immigration authorities, or employers. It is the seal that completes the legalization chain.
GreenAttest submits documents to MOFA on your behalf, eliminating the need for you to visit government offices, wait in queues, or risk delays from incorrectly completed application forms. Our team processes MOFA submissions every business day and maintains direct familiarity with current processing windows, fee structures, and document requirements — details that change frequently and without public notice.
Whether you need MOFA stamping for a single certificate or a batch of documents for an entire family or business, GreenAttest provides a streamlined experience with real-time tracking from submission to collection.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Double-check that your embassy attestation stamp is clearly visible and undamaged before submitting for MOFA, as smudged or partial stamps will be rejected.
- If you need MOFA stamps for multiple documents, submit them together in a single batch to save on processing time and courier costs.
- MOFA processing windows and fees can change without notice. GreenAttest confirms the current schedule before every submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Embassy attestation alone does not grant legal validity within the UAE. The MOFA stamp is the mandatory final step that confirms the UAE government recognizes the document. Without it, government departments, immigration, employers, and courts will not accept your paperwork.
Standard MOFA processing takes 3 to 5 business days. GreenAttest also offers expedited same-day or next-day MOFA submissions for urgent cases, subject to document type and current MOFA workload.
You can, but the process requires visiting the MOFA office in person, completing Arabic-language forms, and ensuring all prior attestation steps are exactly correct. GreenAttest handles this daily and prevents the common errors that cause MOFA rejections or delays.
No. GreenAttest can process MOFA submissions on your behalf while you are outside the UAE. We accept documents via international courier and return the stamped originals to you anywhere in the world.
