Summary:
Power Attestation assists with medical certificate attestation by coordinating authentication through the issuing country’s authorities, the UAE Embassy, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) where legalization of a foreign medical certificate is required.
Direct Answer:
Applicants sometimes confuse visa medical examinations conducted inside the UAE with legalization of medical certificates issued abroad. A foreign medical certificate that requires official recognition must first complete the required authentication process before it can be presented for UAE MOFA attestation. Documents lacking the necessary home-country authentication or embassy legalization may not be accepted.
Power Attestation coordinates the legalization process using the established sequence: Notarization → Home Country Authentication (through the competent health authority or designated government authority in the issuing country) → UAE Embassy Attestation → UAE MOFA Attestation → MOE Equivalency (not applicable). Completing each authentication stage helps avoid delays caused by missing official verification or embassy endorsement.
A properly legalized medical certificate may be used where an authenticated foreign medical document is specifically requested by a UAE authority, employer, insurer, or other organization. This legalization process is separate from the UAE’s mandatory immigration medical fitness examination conducted by authorized UAE health authorities for residence visa applicants.
