emirates7 - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has introduced a new digital service for the issuance and attestation of “To Whom It May Concern” certificates.
The launch comes as part of the second phase of the Government’s Zero Bureaucracy Programme and supports the UAE’s wider efforts to streamline government services. The process has been simplified to just three steps through a unified digital platform, eliminating the need for in-person visits to diplomatic missions.
Omar Obaid AlHesan AlShamsi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the service reflects the Ministry’s dedication to adopting innovative digital solutions that accelerate digital transformation, harness advanced technologies, and enhance sustainable development in government operations. He noted that the platform consolidates several procedures into one more flexible and efficient system, cutting processing times while ensuring high-quality service delivery.
Through this service, UAE nationals abroad can now obtain digitally attested “To Whom It May Concern” certificates—often needed for purposes such as medical treatment or study overseas—via the Ministry’s website or mobile app. Traditional procedures and visits to UAE missions are no longer required. Citizens can also access round-the-clock technical support and inquiries through the Ministry’s Contact Centre at +971 800 44444.
