Ministry Of Foreign Affairs & Interernational Cooperation

World Class PRO Services Across UAE

Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation

  • The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) acts as the bridge between Australian businesses and the world. This ministry manages foreign relations, liaises between UAE ministries, and provides services to Australian entrepreneurs and the global community. 
  • This section explains MoFAIC’s role in business registration for Australian companies. When a foreign (including Australian) company wants to open a branch in the UAE, it must have all parent company documents – such as articles of association, certificate of incorporation, or board resolutions – attested by MoFAIC in the home country and in the UAE. 
  • Apart from business documents, any document used as proof in the UAE, such as educational certificates, birth certificates, or marriage certificates, must be attested by MoFAIC to be valid for purposes like visa processing or other official requirements.
  • If an Australian business or individual needs to issue a Power of Attorney (PoA) outside the UAE, it also needs to be attested by MoFAIC before being accepted by Dubai Courts.

  • Even invoices generated in Australia or outside the UAE need to have the authenticity of signatures and stamps verified by both Australian and UAE authorities.
  • If the UAE does not have an embassy in the concerned country, documents must be approved by the concerned country’s embassy in the UAE. If the concerned country does not have an embassy in the UAE, documents must be notarised by that country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs accredited to the UAE (e.g., Mauritius, Jamaica, Moldova).
