To get a certificate attestation in Sharjah, you must follow a multi-step verification process. First, the certificate must be attested in the country where it was issued, including notary attestation, state attestation, and attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your home country. After that, the UAE Embassy in your home country must stamp your document. Once the document arrives in the UAE, the final step is MOFAIC attestation, which can be completed through the Sharjah attestation center, the MOFAIC website, the smart app, or a courier system. Many people use professional support services like Amazon Attestation Sharjah to ensure all pre-attestation steps are correct and avoid delays.
