UAE Embassy Attestation UAE Attestation from Pakistan for Dubai, Abu Dhabi and all emirates

What the UAE Embassy asks for
UAE submissions vary by document, employer, free zone, and receiving authority. Gather the originals and identity records before arranging collection.
Steps for a UAE bound document
The Higher Education Commission handles degrees, and NADRA papers such as birth and marriage certificates start with the computerised record. The first stamp depends on the document type.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs adds Pakistan’s federal seal on top of the HEC or NADRA stamp. The UAE Embassy checks for it before legalising anything.
The UAE Embassy in Islamabad applies the legalisation the Emirates ID and residency process in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah require. Because the UAE is not an Apostille Convention member, the embassy stamp is what clears the document, not an apostille.

Professional licensing in UAE
Step-by-step journeys for UAE's regulators: what we prepare, attest, and file on the Pakistan side, and what the regulator alone decides.
Doctor license
Medical licensing in the UAE is jurisdiction-based. Dubai Health Authority (DHA) regulates medical facilities in Dubai, the Department of Health (DOH) oversees Abu Dhabi, and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) covers Sharjah and the remaining emirates. All three health authorities require your MBBS degree, internship completion, PMDC Good Standing certificate, and clinical experience verified through Dataflow PSV. We collect your originals across Pakistan, manage HEC and MOFA legalisation, process UAE Embassy stamping, and structure your dossier for instant Dataflow approval.
View the journeyNurse license
Targeting clinical positions across Dubai Healthcare City or government hospitals in Abu Dhabi requires meeting strict emirate standards. Your nursing diploma or BSN degree requires HEC attestation, MOFA sealing, and UAE Embassy legalisation. Simultaneously, your Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC) registration and clinical employment history must be validated directly with issuing institutions through Dataflow. Our team handles the physical paperwork chain in Pakistan, from university records to embassy dropboxes, allowing you to focus on your DHA or DOH computer-based assessment.
View the journeyEngineer license
Engineering projects across Dubai and Abu Dhabi require formal qualification recognition through the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) and professional membership with the UAE Society of Engineers (SOE). Your engineering degree must carry HEC e-Attestation, MOFA certification, and the UAE Embassy consular stamp before MoHESR accepts the file for digital equivalency. We execute every Pakistan-side stamping and verification milestone on your behalf.
