When it comes to legalizing documents in the UAE, one crucial step that ensures your paperwork is valid and officially recognized is MOJ attestation.
Whether you’re handling a power of attorney, contract, or court document, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) attestation process confirms that your document is legally binding across the UAE — and even abroad.
In this guide, Best Attestation explains what MOJ attestation is, when you need it, and how our experts can handle the entire process on your behalf.
What Is MOJ Attestation?
MOJ attestation is the official verification and certification of a document by the Ministry of Justice in the UAE. It ensures that the document is genuine, notarized, and legally valid for use in official or court-related matters.
Typically, MOJ attestation takes place after notarization and before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) or embassy attestation.
If you’re unsure how to start, contact Best Attestation — our specialists will guide you through every step and ensure your documents meet all MOJ requirements.
When Is MOJ Attestation Required?
You’ll need MOJ attestation in several situations, especially for legal, business, and international purposes.
1. Legal and Judicial Documents
Documents intended for UAE courts or legal procedures must be attested by the MOJ.
Examples include:
- Power of Attorney (POA)
- Affidavits and Declarations
- Court Judgments and Orders
- Adoption and Guardianship Papers
- Notarized Contracts
➡️ Contact Best Attestation to complete your notarization and MOJ attestation quickly and correctly, ensuring your legal papers are fully valid in the UAE.

➡️ Best Attestation assists corporate clients with preparing, notarizing, and attesting all business documents through the MOJ and MOFA for smooth approval by banks and government bodies.
3. Using UAE Documents Abroad
If you plan to use your UAE-issued legal documents internationally, the process includes:
