Attestation Services in Abu Dhabi
Certificate Attestation in Abu Dhabi, With Free Pickup
Attest Dubai attests certificates for clients across Abu Dhabi — UAE MOFA attestation, Saudi Embassy legalization, police clearance certificate (PCC) attestation, passport true copies, and attestation through the Indian Embassy and other missions. We collect documents from your home or office anywhere in Abu Dhabi and handle every step, so you don’t have to travel to Dubai.
How does document pickup work if I'm in Abu Dhabi?
Send us a photo of your document on WhatsApp or request a free quote, and we will confirm which attestation steps it needs. Once you accept the quote, we collect the original document from your home, office or hotel anywhere in Abu Dhabi — there is no need to visit our Dubai office or a government counter yourself. We handle each attestation stage (notarization, UAE MOFA, the relevant embassy or consulate, and any further step your destination requires), keep you updated on WhatsApp, then deliver the completed documents back to you in Abu Dhabi or courier them wherever you need them next.
How do I get Saudi Embassy attestation from Abu Dhabi?
Saudi Arabia’s embassy for the UAE is based in Abu Dhabi; the Saudi Consulate General is in Dubai. For UAE-issued documents going to Saudi Arabia, the usual route is certification by the issuing authority or a notary, then UAE MOFA attestation, then legalization by whichever Saudi mission the document type requires. We confirm the correct mission and manage the full chain for you — see our complete Saudi Embassy & Consulate attestation guide and the step-by-step walkthrough. If your documents were issued in Saudi Arabia and need attestation for use in the UAE instead, see Saudi certificate attestation for the UAE.
Can you attest a police clearance certificate (PCC) issued in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Once you hold your Certificate of Good Conduct (police clearance certificate), a UAE-issued PCC — wherever in the UAE it was issued — is attested through UAE MOFA before it can be legalized by the embassy of the country where you will use it; the Ministry of Interior’s own attestation page confirms that criminal-record clearance certificates are attestable for use abroad. A foreign PCC being brought into the UAE instead follows the reverse chain: authentication in the issuing country, legalization by the UAE Embassy or Consulate there, then UAE MOFA attestation on arrival. We collect your PCC in Abu Dhabi and manage whichever direction you need — our full PCC attestation guide covers both directions in detail.
Where can I get a certified true copy of my passport in Abu Dhabi?
In Abu Dhabi, true-copy certification of a passport is handled by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD), available through the TAMM Abu Dhabi platform or the ADJD app, where the service is listed as “Duplicate Copy.” This differs from Dubai, where Dubai Courts’ Notary Public and Dubai-licensed private notaries provide the equivalent service. We can arrange this true-copy certification for you in Abu Dhabi and continue with any further attestation your document needs — see our full guide, How to Get a Certified True Copy of Your Passport in Dubai & Abu Dhabi.
Does the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi handle attestation?
Yes. The Embassy of India is based in Abu Dhabi (the Consulate General of India is the separate mission in Dubai), and it attests documents through an outsourced centre in Abu Dhabi. According to the embassy’s own attestation-service page, it attests educational and professional certificates, marriage and birth certificates, powers of attorney, and driving licences with an affidavit; UAE-issued salary certificates must carry UAE MOFA attestation first. We prepare your document, arrange any UAE MOFA step needed beforehand, and manage the submission — see our Indian certificate attestation page for the full process.
Does UAE MOFA have an office in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. UAE MOFA’s own contact page lists an Abu Dhabi address on Abu Al Abyad Street, alongside its other emirate locations, and the standard MOFA digital and courier attestation service is available UAE-wide — you do not need to be in Dubai to use it. Eligible documents can be attested digitally (typically within 2 hours in official working hours) or sent by courier (1 to 3 business days inside the UAE, up to 7 outside, per MOFA), and we handle the submission on your behalf. See our MOFA attestation in Dubai page for the complete process.
What else can Attest Dubai handle for clients in Abu Dhabi?
Beyond the services above, we collect and manage attestation for:
- Educational certificates — degrees, diplomas and transcripts
- Personal documents — birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates
- Commercial documents — trade licences, MOA/AOA, board resolutions and powers of attorney
- Documents for the UK, India, Canada, the Philippines, Egypt, Australia and other countries, not only Saudi Arabia
- Legal translation of your certificates into Arabic or English where it is required
Whatever the document, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will confirm the exact steps and a free quote before you commit.
Who is this service for?
This page is for anyone based in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain or the Western Region who needs certificate attestation but would rather not travel to Dubai or queue at a government counter — individuals applying for a visa, job or university place abroad, families attesting personal documents, and Abu Dhabi-based companies that need commercial documents attested for trade abroad.
