You will need to bring the documents listed above to the MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to get your marriage registered. It’s the main office that stamps the documents in order to make them acceptable by the government of the UAE.

After entering the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you’ll need to go through the security check first. After that, you’ll proceed to the cash counter to tell the receptionist (officer) what kind of documents that you want to get attested to. You’ll need to pay the fee in cash there in order to receive an electronic card. It will allow you to get inside the very next hall where you’ll wait for your token number. Upon your turn, you’ll have your wedding certificate stamped along with an official sticker and that’s about it.

Keep in mind that it is important to respect the local dress code while going to MOFA as it’s the government’s official building.
