What is UAE Embassy Attestation?
UAE Embassy attestation is the official process of authenticating Pakistani documents for use in the United Arab Emirates. It is required for employment visas, work permits, educational admissions, family visas, and business activities in the UAE.
The UAE operates both an Embassy in Islamabad and a Consulate in Karachi, giving applicants two submission options. Educational documents require HEC attestation for degrees or IBCC for school certificates, while personal documents must be issued by NADRA.
IMP provides a complete attestation service covering all steps from initial verification through final embassy stamping, with options for pickup and delivery across Pakistan.
