  • Commercial Invoices for imported goods into the United Arab Emirates local market
  • Certificates of Origin

The system will be fully automated which allows the majority of documents to be attested seamlessly and with no human intervention. In return, the system will be able to offer electronic attestation with digital stamp in a much shorter time, effort, and lesser expenses compared to the previous process. 

Therefore, documents should be scanned with high resolution in PDF format and uploaded to the portal along with correct data entry to proceed with the transaction. After some time, the system will confirm the transaction status as valid and you can then download the attested documents.
