Need a Nepal-issued document recognised by UAE authorities? Nepal is not a Hague Apostille Convention member, so the full attestation chain applies — and there’s a specific rule worth knowing before you submit anything: the UAE Embassy in Kathmandu will not accept documents attested in a bundle. Every document has to be attested individually.
What is Nepal Embassy Attestation For UAE?
The Nepal Embassy Attestation is the process of certifying by which the legality and authenticity of the papers (academic, personal, or business paper) of the documents generated in Nepal are confirmed with the sole purpose of allowing the documents to be used legally by the UAE government, employers, or other organizations. As one of the members of the countries, Nepal, has not yet signed the Hague Apostille Convention, any paper produced in Nepal which will be used in the UAE will need full chain of consular legalization.
💡 Quick answer: Nepal embassy attestation for UAE = Notary/CDO Verification → Nepal MOFA Attestation (Department of Consular Services, Kathmandu — NPR 500 government fee) → UAE Embassy, Kathmandu Attestation → UAE MOFA Attestation (final step).
Important: Each Document Must Be Attested Individually
According to the UAE Embassy in Kathmandu’s own published guidance, documents attested in a bundle are not accepted — each document must go through the process individually. Two related rules worth knowing if you’re submitting company or personal documents: a Power of Attorney containing commercial content is treated as a commercial document, and MOA (Memorandum Of Association) and AOA must be attested separately from each other, not as a combined package.
Nepal Embassy Attestation Process For UAE

- Notary / CDO Verification – Personal documents are typically verified by the local Chief District Officer (CDO) or a notary; educational documents by the issuing institution.
- Nepal MOFA Attestation – The Department of Consular Services (Tripureshwor, Kathmandu) attests the verified document — a government fee of NPR 500 applies.
- UAE Embassy Kathmandu Attestation – The MOFA-attested document is submitted individually — not in a bundle — to the UAE Embassy in Kathmandu.
- UAE MOFA Attestation – Final attestation confirming the document for official use across the UAE.
⚠️ Commercial invoices and certificates of origin follow a different route: per the UAE Embassy in Kathmandu, these two document types must go through the digital eDAS 2.0 system on the UAE MOFA website instead of physical embassy attestation.
How Long Does Nepal Embassy Attestation for UAE Take?
Commonly cited timelines run 7-15 working days across the complete process, with Nepal MOFA itself usually completing its attestation within 1-3 working days of submission. Processing times for academic documents and police clearances may be longer during the busy travel season.
Nepal Embassy Attestation Cost for UAE
The Nepal MOFA government fee is NPR 500 per document. Costs for notary attestation/CDO verification, UAE Embassy attestation, and final UAE MOFA attestation vary by document type — contact us for a full quote covering every stage.

Why Is Nepal Embassy Attestation Required For UAE?
Since UAE authorities, employers, universities, and banks have no ways to independently verify a Nepal-issued document, attestation exists for them to know that it is real first. Real examples of why a document from a country may be needed:
- UAE Employment — A Nepal-issued degree or experience certificate needs attestation before a new UAE employer will formally recognise it — especially common for professionals moving from a Nepal job to a UAE job
- Family/Spouse Visa Sponsorship — To qualify for a family visa in the UAE, a Nepal-issued marriage certificate should be attested.
- University Admission — UAE universities need attested transcripts to evaluate foreign academic qualifications and admit students.
- Business Setup — Nepal corporate documents are attested in order to register a company or carry out activities in the UAE.
