UAE Embassy Document Attestation Service — Ankara

The UAE does not accept Turkish apostilles. We run the Turkish chain (translation, notary, provincial attestation, MFA — and YÖK for university diplomas) and file the UAE attestation for you. UAE MOFA issues the stamp. Authorised service providers are the technical channel, not a self-service button.

⚠️ Why an apostille is not enough for the UAE

Turkey is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention; the UAE is not. A Turkish apostille is not recognised. The file needs the non-Hague chain, then a UAE attestation filing that we manage.

Official UAE source (not a CTA)

Attestation rules: mofa.gov.ae — attestation. Verification of an issued certificate: verify.mofa.gov.ae. We choose comprehensive (MOFA + mission) or narrow (MOFA only) scope from the receiving institution’s requirement — it is not an automatic merge.

Three roles: we run Turkey plus the UAE filing; authorised providers are the technical channel; UAE MOFA issues the attestation.

The full process — step by step

1

Sworn translation

Your Turkish document is translated into Arabic (or English, if required) by a court-appointed sworn translator. This translation has full legal standing.

2

Notarisation

The translator's signature is notarised by a Turkish notary public. This confirms the identity and authority of the translator.

3

Provincial attestation

Kaymakamlık or valilik attests the file (not apostille). University diplomas then go to YÖK in Ankara before Turkish MFA.

4

Turkish MFA approval

Submitted in Ankara. Timing depends on appointments; we do not freeze a 1–2 day promise.

5

UAE attestation filing

We file through authorised service providers. UAE MOFA issues the attestation. Comprehensive vs MOFA-only is chosen at application.

6

Delivery

The fully attested document is returned to you — collected from our office or couriered to your address.

Timing

Translation and notary are often same-day in our building. Provincial attestation, YÖK (if needed), Turkish MFA, and the UAE filing depend on appointments and the authorised channel. We do not publish a combined 6–10 day promise.

✓ Power of attorney — document-specific chain
✓ Company registration and articles of association
✓ Birth and marriage certificates
✓ Criminal record certificate
✓ Health and medical reports
