There are many steps in the process:

Summary of attestation process steps:

• Translation (if the degree is in Latin)
• Some universities print their documents in Latin, which they can translate to English for a fee. This can take 1-5 days.
• Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)
• The DFA verifies the origin of a document by confirming that a signature, seal, or stamp appearing on a document is genuine. Documents are sent by registered post. This can be completed in person within an hour for emergency cases.
• Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce (AICC)
• The AICC certifies and legalizes documents being exported from Ireland to any Arab country. The first step is to apply and pay online and then send the documents. This should take 3-5 days maximum. The AICC can also send the legalized documents to the UAE for an extra fee.

*Please note that 2 weeks is the maximum time for the attestation as quoted by the DFA and AICC this year. Some allowances can be made for emergency cases that would reduce this time frame. *
