Portuguese Document Attestation for UAE
If you need to use a Portuguese document in the UAE, it must go through a detailed attestation process. Since Portugal is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, documents issued there can be used in other member countries with an apostille. However, for non-member countries like the UAE, additional legalization steps are required.
Key Points to Note:
- Original Documents Required – Unlike some European countries, only original Portuguese documents can be attested. Certified copies are not accepted.
- Multiple Authority Approvals – The document must pass through various government bodies before it is valid in the UAE.
Attestation Process for Portuguese Documents:
1. Local Authentication in Portugal
- Documents are attested by relevant Portuguese government departments.
2. UAE Embassy Legalization in Lisbon
- The UAE Embassy in Portugal verifies and legalizes the document.
3. MOFA Attestation in UAE
- Once in the UAE, the document undergoes final attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
