The Process of Documents Attestation for CMAs

For Chartered Management Accountants (CMAs) aspiring to pursue job opportunities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), it is crucial to ensure that their documents are properly attested. This attestation process is a prerequisite for obtaining an employment visa in the UAE. Allow us to guide you through the CMA certificate attestation process with utmost professionalism and attention to detail:

Submitting your Certificate to ICMA Head Office:

Send your final certificate to the ICMA Head Office along with a formal request letter, requesting them to attest the certificate. Kindly ask them to provide a letter in a sealed envelope specifically addressed to the UAE Embassy.

Attestation by ICMA and MOFA:

Once you receive the attested certificate and the sealed envelope from ICMA, proceed to get the certificate attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Pakistan. This additional attestation reinforces the authenticity and credibility of your CMA certification.

Sending Attested Certificate to UAE Embassy:

After the ICMA and MOFA attestations, send the attested certificate along with the sealed envelope to the UAE Embassy in Pakistan. Utilize a reliable courier service such as SASHA to ensure secure and timely delivery.

Attestation by UAE Embassy:

The UAE Embassy will authenticate your certificate, duly attesting it from their side. Once you receive the certificate back from the embassy, it signifies that the document has been officially recognized by the UAE government.

Attestation by UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (upon securing a job):

Upon securing a job in the UAE, you will be required to re-attest your CMA certificate. This involves getting the certificate attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This step further validates the document for official purposes within the UAE.

Following this meticulous attestation process ensures that your CMA certificate holds the necessary credibility and recognition for employment purposes in the UAE. With your attested certificate in hand, you are ready to embark on your journey to the UAE, equipped with the necessary documentation for prospective employers.
