Commercial Document Attestation in Dubai — All Business Documents
What is commercial document attestation and how much does it cost?
Commercial document attestation is the legalization of business documents for official use in the UAE or internationally. This covers trade licenses, articles of association, board resolutions, certificates of incorporation, commercial invoices, and other corporate documents. MOFA charges AED 2,000-2,300 for commercial documents — significantly higher than personal documents.
About Commercial Document Attestation
Commercial document attestation covers all business-related documents that need official legalization. Unlike personal documents (where MOFA charges AED 40-150), commercial documents carry a MOFA fee of AED 2,000-2,300. Types of commercial documents that can be attested include: trade licenses, articles of association, memoranda of association, board resolutions, certificates of incorporation, commercial invoices, certificates of origin, powers of attorney (commercial), company profiles, and audit reports. The attestation process for commercial documents follows the same chain as personal documents but with higher fees and sometimes additional requirements from the Chamber of Commerce. AttestExpress provides a dedicated business document service with pickup from your office and handling of all government submissions.
