The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines is located in Abu Dhabi, while Dubai is served by the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. Both missions provide Philippine government consular services, but the correct office depends on where you live, where an event such as a birth or marriage took place, and the particular service you require. The Dubai Consulate specifically serves Dubai and the Northern Emirates, while applications falling within Abu Dhabi jurisdiction are handled through the Philippine Embassy.
GloboPrime can assist with document preparation before your Philippine Embassy or Consulate appointment, including Special Powers of Attorney, affidavits, Affidavits of Support and Guarantee, UAE document attestation, legal translation and other supporting documentation.

For document attestation in the UAE, it is important to distinguish Philippine Embassy or Consulate services from UAE MOFA attestation and UAE Embassy attestation requirements, as these are separate processes depending on where the document was issued and where it will be used.
For a UAE-issued document to be used officially in the Philippines, the document must complete the required UAE authentication before it is submitted for Philippine Embassy or Philippine Consulate attestation in the UAE.
Documents such as Powers of Attorney, affidavits, contracts, employment certificates, salary certificates, school records, trade licences and other personal or commercial documents must first complete the authentication required for that document type. Legal and commercial documents can require notarisation, Ministry of Justice, Chamber of Commerce or another relevant UAE authority before MOFA attestation.
The document is then attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). UAE MOFA authentication is required before a UAE-issued document is submitted to the Philippine diplomatic mission for consular attestation.
After UAE MOFA attestation, the document is submitted to the appropriate Philippine mission. The Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi handles documents within Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, while the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai serves Dubai and the Northern Emirates.
An appointment is required for selected Philippine Embassy Abu Dhabi consular and notarial services. Applicants should use the service-specific appointment or contact method before visiting the Embassy. The Embassy continues to operate an appointment system for consular transactions.
For Philippine Embassy attestation, notarisation, Affidavit of Support and Guarantee, Special Power of Attorney or other consular services, applicants should first check the specific documentary requirements and appointment procedure for the service they need.
