Medical Certificate Attestation in UAE
Getting your medical certificate attested is a long yet crucial step if you are applying for a visa or shifting to Abu Dhabi, Dubai & Sharjah. This step is required to confirm that your medical certificate is actual and valid for use in the UAE. You will need to go through several vital steps which include government stamps. And if there is a mistake or something is missing it could lead to delays, extra costs or even rejection.
So there can be multiple reasons like if work visa or residential visa or want to sponsor family members, you must have an attested medical certificate. The process can feel confusing because there are many steps and rules to follow.

Our Step by Step Process of Medical Certificate Attestation
Getting your medical certificate attested for use in the UAE doesn’t have to be complicated. Our team ensures the entire process is handled carefully and efficiently from start to finish. Here’s how we do it:
1. Verification by the State Home Department
The first step is to verify your medical certificate with the Home Department of the state where it was issued. This verification confirms that your document is genuine and issued by a recognized medical authority.
2. Certification by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)
Once state-level verification is complete, your document is sent to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The MEA attests the certificate to confirm its authenticity for international use. This makes your document legally acceptable outside your home country.
3. Attestation by the UAE Embassy or Consulate
Next, your document goes to the UAE Embassy or Consulate in your home country. The embassy places its official seal or stamp, certifying that your medical certificate has been duly verified and can be used for official purposes in the UAE.
4. Final Attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) – UAE
Once your attested document reaches the UAE, it must undergo final attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This final step confirms that your medical certificate is now valid and legally recognized across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah.
With our professional assistance, you don’t have to worry about the paperwork or running between offices. We handle the entire process—from document verification to final MOFA attestation—ensuring your medical certificate attestation is completed quickly, securely, and without hassle.
