Ministry of Foreign Affairs Attestation in Qatar

August 25, 2019 By Forhad Hossain

Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Attestation in Qatar

If you are a foreign national working or living in any country in the Middle East, you are probably no stranger to the term ‘MOFA’. The MOFA was established between all UAE countries as a wll means of extra precautions so that both the employer and the employee will have a higher degree of protection.

As one of the most bustling economies in the UAE, Qatar, too requires all your documents to be MOFA attested. Thus, in order for one to have a smooth transition to their working life in Qatar or to gain a residence permit there, one needs to have all their documents attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar.

This is done so that there is a uniform means of document verification in Qatar. It should be noted that a document being attested by the MOFA is the last stage of its attestation, all previous procedures should be done in the country of origin of the applicant. In general, the MOFA attestation is done on these categories of documents:

  • Educational (i.e. degree and diploma certificates)
  • Personal documents (Birth certificates, marriage certificates, PPC etc.)
  • Civil documents (mortgages, leases etc.)
  • Medical documents.
  • Business related documents (certification of incorporation, trade licenses etc.)
  • Other documents that do not fit into the above categories

As mentioned earlier, before submitting an application to MOFA, ensure that you have had your documents attested by the following bodies in your country of origin first.

  • Attestation via Notary
  • Attestation by Home Department
  • Attestation by Ministry of External Affairs
  • Attestation by Embassy of country of Origin

Now that you’ve received your attested documents, you may file an application for MOFA attestation.
