About This Service
What Is Indian Certificate Attestation in Abu Dhabi?
Indian certificate attestation is the official process of verifying and legalising documents issued in India so they are recognised by UAE government authorities, employers, and institutions. Any Indian document used for official purposes in the UAE — whether for employment, residency, family visas, or legal matters — must carry the full chain of attestation stamps before UAE authorities will accept it.
The attestation process for Indian certificates involves multiple government authorities: state-level departments in India (Home Department or HRD), the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in New Delhi, the UAE Embassy or Consulate in India, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Abu Dhabi. Each stamp confirms the document’s authenticity at that level.
At Index Business Administration LLC, we manage the entire attestation chain on your behalf — coordinating with our authorised partners across all Indian states and completing the final MOFA stamp right here in Abu Dhabi. You submit your documents once at our Abu Dhabi office, and we handle everything else.
