Attestation Process for UAE-Issued Documents for Use in Spain

Document attestation is essential for validating the authenticity of UAE-issued documents in Spain.

Step 1: Notarization and Verification in the UAE

Notarization

The first step is to get your document notarized by a UAE Notary Public or verified by the issuing government authority (such as the Ministry of Education for educational certificates or the Ministry of Health for medical records). This step confirms the authenticity of the document locally.

Step 2: Attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)

MOFA Attestation

After local verification, the document must be attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. MOFA verifies the local signatures and seals, ensuring the document is recognized at the federal level.

Step 3: Certified Spanish Translation

Translation

Spanish authorities require documents to be presented in Spanish. The document must be translated into Spanish by a certified or sworn translator recognized by Spanish authorities or the Embassy.

Step 4: Legalization by the Embassy of Spain in Abu Dhabi

Embassy Legalization

Submit the MOFA-attested document to the Embassy of Spain in Abu Dhabi. The Embassy’s Legalization Department verifies the MOFA stamp and applies the consular legalization stamp required for official recognition in Spain.

Step 5: Final Submission in Spain

Legalization

Once in Spain, the document can be submitted to the relevant government offices, universities, or employers. In some administrative procedures, the document may also undergo final registration with the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (MAEUEC).

Spain Embassy Attestation Requirements in the UAE

To use UAE-issued public or commercial documents in Spain, they must undergo official consular legalization. Because the UAE is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, documents must be authenticated by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) before submission to the Embassy of Spain in Abu Dhabi.

Core Requirements for Document Acceptance

Original Document or Certified True Copy: Official documents must be intact, unlaminated, and free from any physical damage or alterations. Plain photocopies are not accepted.
Prior UAE Verification: Documents must be issued by a recognized UAE authority or notarized by a UAE Notary Public before MOFA processing.
UAE MOFA Stamp: The official UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation stamp must be present prior to embassy submission.
Verification of Digital Signatures: For digitally signed UAE documents or e-certificates, the Embassy requires verifiable QR codes or online authentication paths.

Certified Spanish Translation Rules

All Arabic or English documents submitted for official use in Spain must be accompanied by a certified Spanish translation. You can complete this through two official routes:

Sworn Translator in Spain: Translations completed by a certified Traductor Jurado registered with Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs are accepted in Spain without additional legalization.
Certified Legal Translation in the UAE: Local translations prepared in the UAE can be processed through the UAE MOFA and Spanish Embassy legalization chain.

Submission & Processing at the Embassy in Abu Dhabi

Document legalizations are handled by appointment at the Embassy of Spain in Abu Dhabi during official consular hours (Monday to Friday, 1:30 PM to 2:15 PM). The original MOFA-attested document, official translation, clear photocopies, and passport copy must be presented along with the consular fee.

For specific inquiries or appointment confirmations, the embassy’s legalisation department can be reached directly at emb.abudhabi.leg@maec.es.
