If an Indian-issued degree, marriage certificate, birth certificate, PCC or other official document needs to be used in the UAE, it may require UAE Embassy Attestation. For India-issued documents, the UAE Embassy in New Delhi confirms that the document must first be authenticated by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India before proceeding through the UAE attestation process. The general route is: Indian authentication → MEA India → UAE Embassy Attestation → UAE MOFA Attestation
