Frequently asked questions
Generally no. MOFA requires the document to have completed the earlier stages first.
Not always, but many receiving entities in the UAE ask for a legal Arabic translation alongside the attested document.
MOFA attestation is often one of the faster steps, though it depends on the document type and current volumes.
